I would try creating a new XP user with Administrator privilege.
Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> UserAccounts-> CreateANewAccount
Switch to that user and try the install as that user.

The theory is that if the problem is an IE setting, you will get
default settings for the new user. If you succeed this way, it
would accomplish the download, and it would point toward the reason
the other did not work. You can delete the new user later, and
your regular IE settings will not have been changed.

I was installing programs that I had downloaded from the Money website. One
was a re-installation of the program I already had and the 2008 was a trial
version. Also, I am using Windows XP. I'll give your suggestions a try. The
suggestions I got from the Money support person didn't work.

So those are both installation CDs? Maybe your CD drive is going bad
somehow.

Try copying the install CD to a folder on your hard drive and
running setup.exe from that.

If you are using Vista, be sure that your Money and backup files are
moved to a spot that you will have full privileges to, such as
within the user's Documents folder. If they are in ProgramFiles,
Vista will create an impermanent copy of the file for the user to
use, unless the user explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose
RunAsAdministrator that time.

If you have a problem, it may be necessary to disable TLS 1.0 in IE
Tools-> InternetOptions-> Advanced. Disable SSL2 for security
reasons (that is the default). This differs from what I had
thought in the past. Keep SSL3 enabled.


Install Money by browsing to the setup file.
Right-click that file, and choose RunAsAdministrator.

After install, right-click the Money icon and choose
RunAsAdministrator to let potential updates happen. Reboot the
computer. You should not have to run as Administrator normally.

A couple days ago my Money program stopped working. When I would click on the
program, the first screen would come up and instantly vanish. I uninstalled
the program and then attempted to reinstall it, many times. I keep getting
the error message, "the autorun.inf file is missing or corrupt." I get the
same error when I attempt to install Money 2004, and 2008. Any ideas?
