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?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

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!

    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.

    I really wish the mods could change the answer to this thread. Your problem isn't Windows 10 related actually, it is a bug in Money with adding a payee. Download the patched mnyob99.dll (linked in this thread and Googleable) and replace the one in the Money program directory.

    I tried to and changed compatibility to Windows 8 which is when it worked last.  Windows 10 it shuts down and closes for about a minute of wait time or if I try to "accept" a transaction.

    This problem was solved over a month ago. It's just a registry entry being read that it can't handle.
