Removing read-only attributes is usually a snap, and should take only a minute or two. How do I get rid of the read-only attribute in my Documents and Download folders?" I automatically assumed that readers reporting this issue had their Money data file in the wrong location since Windows 7 & 8 never messed up the file permissions.

I’ve just read that upgrading to Windows 10 sometimes messes up the read/write permissions of your Documents folder and since I recall that some readers have reported that they had trouble saving their Money files, i thought I would add instructions for this issue in this blog. I’ll do my best to keep track of any issues and solutions that keep me from using Microsoft Money as I really have no intentions of not using this fantastic program. an upgrade) and/or future iterations of Windows 10 that no longer have IE imbedded, will at least have registry entries appropriate for fooling legacy programs like Money into thinking that IE is installed.

What isn’t clear yet is whether a clean install of Windows 10 (vs.

I’m going to inject my theory here at the risk of being proven wrong, but based on past experience, I don’t think it matters if Windows default browser is set to Edge or Firefox or Chrome – Money is always going to use it’s internal Internet Explorer. If no entry is found, it will default to prompting you to install Internet Explorer 6 – which of course will never install with Windows 8 or 10.

The programs actually include their own, limited capability IE browser which serves as the GUI, yet apparently, the programs still contain residual code which, on installation, checks the registry for the presence of IE and its build number. According to DominicP, Money Sunset and QFE2 versions do not actually need IE to be installed. Unlike a program that generically invokes a browser by simply looking up the registry to identify the default browser, Microsoft Money is designed to use Internet Explorer exclusively as the entire user interface and consequently it looks up the registry to find the installed version. She questioned why Money looks at the IE version #.

Great observation Robin! This could be a pain if Microsoft is going to update Internet Explorer (or Edge which is the name of IE’s replacement) using version numbers greater than 15 characters long. The current version number in the registry for Internet Explorer 11 is 0.16384 and she has found that the value needs to be truncated by removing the 16th character (4) in order for Money to run. I happened to note that Robin Wheeler has observed that Microsoft Money is expecting that the version number for Internet Explorer should be defined with no more than 15 characters.

Windows 8 was hit and miss regarding the dll patch, but the patch is definitely recommended for Windows 10 PCs.

They did happen to release a version of Internet Explorer recently with a version number less than 16 characters long, but they could again update IE and use a version number with too many characters.Īdditionally please note that the “bugs” in Money’s “MNYOB99.DLL” file have been there for years according to Raymond Chen and by his description of those bugs, it is surprising that Money has worked consistently with the older OS’s all these years. Microsoft did NOT patch the launch version (1507) of Windows 10 contrary to what some people have stated in the Microsoft Forum. Of course, patching the dll as previously discussed in the Windows 8 Compatibility discussion will be necessary if you are installing Money on a clean install of Windows 10 or upgrading from Windows XP or Windows 7, but if the PC is simply being “upgraded” from Windows 8 to Windows 10, I’m thinking that you should have already patched the dll in order to get Money working.
