As a long term user of Microsoft Money and now Money Sunset Delux I am keen to learn if the programme will still work on the imending Windows 10? I would be happy to resume paying for Money, as for me, this is the 'Killer App' which keeps me on the Windows platform. Does anyone esle out there still use Money? How can we get this fantastic Personnal Finance software continued? or, Have you found a realisticly alternative application?

Hi Simon

I am back from a work trip, and I played around with a few settings.  I can now get Money Sunset Edition to run in the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879.

I changed the Compatibility settings:

Good luck!

Nick

    Good, so they did completely fix it, as I expected. Of course, they probably only fixed it because it was something they could change on the Win10 side, which is fine. They obviously wouldn't be diving into Money's code to fix anything.

    I am running Windows 10 Home and the registry fix is no longer needed on my machine.

    The registry change is no longer needed on Windows 10 Pro with all updates, for what it is worth. If it still crashes on your Windows 10 non-Pro, does the registry change fix it for you? It may be a more significant issue if it does not.

    I had a chat last night with a MS savy developer who works closely with Microsoft. He advised that in his opinion MS would not entertain any further expense on the old Money project. When I mentioned that the issue seems to be that Money looks for Internet Explorer, and thus crashes, he advised that it would probably work, without any modifications required if it were run under Windows 10 Professional, as the Prof version has IE as well as the new browser (as many corporate apps also still require IE). This is not the case on the consumer version of Windows 10 (which is the one I have been using, which crashes. Does anyone know if this is correct? I really dont see the suggested modifications to registry etc as a sensible long term fix.
