Quicken 2004 Forum

For me, all installation attempts

• automatic /mnt/cdrom
• manual /mnt/cdrom/install.exe
• manual /mnt/cdrom/autorun/autorun.exe
• manual /mnt/cdrom/disk1/setup.exe

all die

They all crash out of installshield with the error

1628: Failed to finish installation

I'd classify this as unsupported

I'm curious as to why it installed for the other person though, and not for me

Same behavior here on Gentoo. The default installation using the cxoffice setup script for quicken fails.

But I manged to get it installed. I made two changes - don't know which one actually worked -

1. Changed to run in a desktop window of 800x600.
2. Did an unsupported app install by running /mnt/cdrom/disk1/qsetup.exe in default (os version) mode.

It first had to install /mnt/cdrom/disk1/msaa20/setup.exe and then exited. (it was supposed to reboot, but did not). I manually rebooted windows.Then I re ran /mnt/cdrom/disk1/qsetup.exe and bingo - quicken 2004 premier installed. There are a few errors in the install screen - some parts of the display get obscured.

All I have tried so far is to restore my backup file from 2002 deluxe with over 5 years of my finance (8MB file) and that works correctly. I will post more as I try stuff out.

Oops, the forum is not threaded. This was in reply to Chris Ricker's post. Also just finished importing 40000 items without any errors. Looks good so far.

I am getting the same exact problem with Quicken 2004 Deluxe (1628: Failed to finish installation while running a program "IDRIVER.EXE").

I am successfully running IE6SP1 having installed it through CxOffice 2.1 (12 days left on demo) on Fedora Core 1.

I tried finding the other program mentioned in one of the replies to you, but could not locate it (perhaps it was a "Premier" part).

I do not have MS Office installed and I wonder if this is related in any fashion to the inability to get this installed????

Anyone have any other suggestions? Or perhaps have a timeline on 3.0 which reportedly is going to support this verison of Quicken?? If 3.0 is close and does support 2004, I would most likely pony up before the twelve days is up....

I'm still unable to install Quicken 2004 using all the methods prescribed above on either Fedora Core 1 or Fedora Core 2 Test 2.

No matter what I try, I get the 1628 error. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
