Resolved question

Windows 8 & Quicken

by grawhib - 11/10/12 4:35 AM

Does anybody know if Quicken 2004 will work with W8, I have done the compatibility test and it was inconclusive i.e. it told me all the progs I need to update and all the progs that were OK no mention of Quicken, as I have been using this programe for over 14 years and have a lot of data I don't want change to another programe Inuit no longer supports Quicken in the UK (unless someone knows different) they only do commercial software like Quick Books so if anybody out there can help I would eternally grateful.

Quicken 2004?

I am using Quicken 2011 with my system. Is there a reason for you not using a newer version? 2004 is quite old and I found it necessary to upgrade long before Windows 8 came along...

UK Quicken 2004 and Windows 8

UK Version Release 2 Quicken 2004 ( Final issued UK Version) will work in Windows 8 but you must have the following files installed in the Quicken directory:-

MFC70.dll
MSVCP70.dll
MSVCR70.dll

I have installed Quicken on a friends new conputer running Windows 8, it is incompatible without those three files.

I am running it in Windows 7 64bit and had the same problem untill I added those three files, you should be able to download them from the internet.

Good luck

UK Quicken 2004 and Windows 8

I have installed successfully the UK version of Quicken on a Windows 7 computer using the compatibility mode feature. Cannot the same be done in Windows 8?

Using compatibilty mode in Windows 7 meant that I did not need to install additionally the files MFC70.dll
MSVCP70.dll and MSVCR70.dll.

I noticed that these three files are in my Quicken directory on a version that I am running in Windows XP. A safer way than downloading the files from the internet would be simply to copy them from my Windoews XP computer installation.
