Microsoft Money 98 On Windows 10

[1581960]

Has anyone tried to run Microsoft Money 98 on Windows 10?

According to Microsoft, Money 98 was incompatible with Windows 8 but I loaded it and it has been running without problems for over a year, I'm hoping it will also run on 10.

Given that Microsoft reckon that the program is incompatible with Windows 8, it's hardly surprising that they also think that it's incompatible with Windows 10:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Microsoft+Money+98&vendor=Microsoft&Locale=1033,2057,3081,4105,16393&ModelOrVersion=6&BreadCrumbPath=money+98&LastSearchTerm=money%2B98&Type=Software&tempOsid=Windows+8.1

However take a look at the 'Community rating' on that page. 7 out of 8 people have suggested that they've actually found it to be compatible, so it might well work anyway.

Thanks for the link Buenchico, I changed the compatibility status from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and 2 out of 4 say compatible, strange that it works for some and not for others.

MS Money will work with all previous versions of windows up to and including Windows 8 but NOT with Windows 10. I've been using MS Money since its launch more or less but I've finally had to admit defeat with Windows 10. Apparently the version of IE required to run any version of Money is incompatible with Windows 10 and according to Microsoft (who I rang) there is no "work round" available. They did apologise but that didn't help much!

A simple workaround that worked for me is:-
Bypass the "setup file" and open the Money 98 folder on the installation disk.
Click on the "setup" file in there.
