But in each case, when opening the newly installed MS Money program, received the exact same notification: run the setup program.

This is the reason I will never use or recommend ANY of those PC transfer programs ever. Transfer DATA never Programs, There is usually something that does not work right each time.

If you are lucky, you can use something like Revo uninstaller to rip money out by its guts and start over.

I suggest running the setup program from an admin account as an administrator with the compatibility mode set for Windows XP SP3. If all fails you could install an OS prior to Windows 11 as a VM and run Money from within the VM.

Here is a useful download site and a Google help group for money where you could also post your problem:

In checking this reply I also discovered Ultrasoft Moneylink which lets you export data from your Money file to Excel using an Excell add in. See

I believe that's they key to your problem. Some programs cannot be transferred from one machine to the other as the program is tied to the machine ID. You might try uninstalling Money using Revo Uninstaller Free. Make sure all leftover files and registry entries that Revo finds are deleted. Restart and reinstall Money Sunset as administrator.
