I ran setup.exe and prevented Quicken from loading at the end of the installation by de-selecting that option from the installation dialogue.I then changed the properties of the setup.exe program within this folder by ticking “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and selecting ‘Windows XP (Service Pack 3)’ and ticked “Run this program as an administrator”.Before installing Quicken, I copied the complete set of Quicken installation files from the Quicken product disc on to a new folder on my C: drive.

I used the third set of instructions titled ‘Successful Installation into native Windows 7’ as my guide – and what follows here is an almost word-for-word duplication but based on my additional experience on Windows 8.1 (essentially, my experience did not differ greatly if at all, but a couple of the warnings and caveats did not occur for me, so I wanted to concentrate on what worked for me) Thanks to the following post by Geoff King I finally managed to install Quicken 2004 onto my Windows 8.1 computer: The steps I took to run Quicken 2004 on Windows7 Professional Solved – Windows 7 Help Forums.
