As part of my TechNet subscription, Microsoft Money is an inclusion. I had a play with it recently, and despite the US-centric tendencies of the program (to date, Microsoft still hasn’t announced a globalised version of the program) it works pretty well.
That is, once you have it installed and updated.
There is an issue with the update procedure and Windows Vista. If you’re uninstalled, reinstalled and still can’t update the thing, try the following:
1. Uninstall your version of Money, remembering to keep your data file safe
2. Reboot your PC
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files and delete the Money Plus directory
4. Re-install your software.
The issue is caused by the MNYCoreFiles directory which is usually hidden. There are some nasty routines on the Internet to delete this folder, but there are numerous reports also which indicate the deletion causes bigger issues with mismatches executables.
