Creating a self contained installation of Money 2005 with the 1105 patch

I've just put up a post on http://moneymvps.org with some instructions on how to create a self contained installation of Money 2005 onto CD, so you never need to rely on the Microsoft servers to deliver the patch update again. This fix can be read in FAQ Article 630.

Credit is to Jean-Paul in the French money newsgroup who came up with the solution. I've had feedback that it works on all language versions of Money 2005.

It is probably not legal to share the files that are required from a patched version. You may need to wait until Microsoft sorts out the problem with downloading before performing these instructions.

Trio of new articles

Three new articles this morning - one is a calculation article, the other two are some obscure problems that can occur (one with Money, the other with MSN Money (but can also affect Money)).

Hope they're useful to someone.

Article 484
How weekly amounts are extrapolated to yearly amounts in the budget

Article 483
