I know about the chat forum but when you said on the phone that's when I thought they usually charge for that . Good to know and glad you didn't ... thanks

While there may be hacks to get this working, you might want to consider moving to a more recent and still supported application, like Quicken or any of the other money managers.

Thank you all for your help. I found it difficult to find "Versions" but a friend helped me to replace the value date and hey presto my Microsoft Money is now returned with all bells and whistles. Thank you all again and keep up the good work.

Your right, of course. I must admit, I love MS Money, it does exactly what I need and is simple to use, but maybe it is time to start looking elsewhere, before we run out of hacks!

Exactly. You don't want to be trying to find a solution after you're locked out. You want to be proactive and move to something supported before the last gasp.

I had the same issue as you. A bit of Googling and I found this fix:

To resolve the error, try the following registry hack:

Open Registry Editor (RegEdit).
Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

In the right pane, look for Version registry value.
Modify the value date to 9.11.10240.0.

Note: The default value date for the Version in Windows 10 RTM Build 10240 is 9.11.10240.16384.

Did the edit, and MS Money runs as it should. Apologies to whoever first discovered the fix. I noted it down, but can't remember where I found it, so can't give the appropriate credit.

Hope this helps.

It didn't work for me

...
There was NO "Internet Explorer" under the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft" key. I created the "Internet Explorer" key with the Version item set to "9.11.10240.0".
I rebooted just to be sure ...
... still the same request for IE 6 ...

Any idea on what cold be wrong ?
Thanks a lot,

EDIT : SOLVED
Actually, I'm running the 32 bits W 10 version. And the registry key that has to be modified is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" instead.

I'm trying out Windows 10 Pro within a virtual machine (VirtualBox) before upgrading. I have the last UK version of MS Money 2005 (file Money2005-UK-QFE2.EXE).

I managed to install MS Money on VM version of Windows 10 provided I ran the EXE file as Adminstrator. I then got the error above about the version of IE. I applied the registry fix to change the IE version to 9.11.10240.0 and MS Money 2005 now works fine on the VM copy of Windows 10. I loaded my large money file going back 15 years and all is fine - oh joy!!

What UK financial software do people recommend which can read a MS Money file for future financial management? We can only hope these fixes work for so long before MS Money becomes impossible to run.

It would surprise me if Quicken didn't.

Why would someone have to pay for a program when the free MS Money Sunset works like a dream on all versions of Windows except 10. I downloaded Windows 10 on Tuesday and not one of the "fixes" I found online worked for me. Not changing the registry, not anything. So I am back to windows 7 until I see otherwise. I must have MS Money working and since it isn't working it is a deal breaker for me

Yes, Microsoft seem to have slipped up on this. I have account transactions on MS Money going back over 5 years and it is imperative I have access to financial planning software until I expire (c. 30 years ?)!
