Notes for North America:
- US and Canadian Money 2005 and Essentials users — as well as other US and usually Canadian users — can use Money Plus Deluxe Sunset if they have to reinstall at some point. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2118008
for information.
- Some US users of Money 98 ... Money 2003 may have to use an additional step of first installing a verson of US Money 2004 or 2005 to perform a file conversion before installing Money Plus Sunset. Here is a link to a minimally functional
version of US Money 2005 (filename webinst.exe) that can be used for conversions:

Note for all versions
It is suggested that all Money users keep a good copy of the installation file, even if the need is not immediate. It will be needed if you reinstall Money in the future. Those links can change, so do a search if you don't find the file you need. Since we
don't know how long these files will be available, it is best to keep a copy of your appropriate installation file in a safe place.
Regional versions
Money data files are in a different format for each region. The correct regional version of Money must be used or the data file will not open.
It is possible to convert from one region to another only by exporting data as loose qif and importing to the new regional version of Money. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304254 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178830 .
All Money versions will run under 32-bit Windows
Old versions (Money 2000 and earlier) may include 16-bit code that can run only under 32-bit Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8 and probably 10).
There are continuing changes to the way Windows works. There is no certainty that newer 32-bit Windows will continue to run Money well or at all.
64-bit Windows
The latest available versions of Money, downloadable below, run under Windows versions up to Windows 8. We hope they work with Windows 10.
There are continuing changes to the way Windows works. There is no certainty that newer 64-bit Windows will continue to run Money well or at all.
Many have complete success running older versions of Money on 64-bit Windows. Some versions may have a problem with some features, some will not have a problem
Internet Explorer
Money depends on Internet Explorer for some features. Development of Money stopped some years ago, so some features in Money do not work well or at all with the latest versions of Internet Explorer.
Money version downloads
The latest versions are free for anyone to use, but are not supported by Microsoft. The download links below are maintained by this forum's moderators and might become unusable at any time.
Remember to keep a secure copy of the downloaded installation file for when you need to re-install. Your data will be inaccessible if you cannot reinstall Money.
This forum is the only support available.
