This is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version of Money.
Unless you got separate CDs for Money, you won't be able to install it
anywhere else. It only gets loaded along with Windows when you reformat
your hard drive and reinstall the OS.

What is your definition of "upgrade"? If you installed something
through Windows Update, that only works when Money is already
installed, even if you downloaded and saved some files. If you
purchased a new version of Money, you can find the CD or download files
and use them to install Money on your new PC.

If you don't have the installation media, you'll have to buy a new
copy. Older versions of Money are available on eBay. New versions come
from the Microsoft web site. You can get a CD if you want, or just
download the files and burn your own CD.

Copy Money (*.mny) and backup files (.mbf) are copied 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.


Install Money on the new computer by browsing to the setup file.
Right-click that file, and choose RunAsAdministrator. If your
version is Money 2005, then an additional consideration is needed.

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.


Also change your backup path from
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\" to
"C:\Users\username\Documents\"

I've just purchased a new computer and need to move Money to that new
computer. I do not have any disks to load it as it came installed on the old
computer. I did download an upgrade several years ago. What do I need to do?
