Money 2005 patches for UK, French and International English

Microsoft removed these downloads off from their website recently. I've already had a number of people contact me about obtaining them. I've placed the download links on my main website at the following location http://moneymvps.org/downloads/patches.aspx so that you can still install it and access your Microsoft money file. Glyn

QFE#2 for Money 2005 International users

Microsoft have also released for download the update for Money 2005 International users (I previously posted about the UK update)
Details on this, and the UK patch can be found at http://moneymvps.org/faq/article/649.aspx
There is no update for US versions. The workaround for these versions is to upgrade to the sunset edition

Money 2005 QFE#2 for UK Users (1105 patch)

What is the QFE#2 for the UK users? Maybe an obscure title, but it's really good for Money 2005 UK users. It's the downloadable patch which brings a retail copy of Money 2005 to the 1105 update.

This is the update you need to reopen your Money files, should you need to reinstall later on, such as installing Money on a new PC. This is something that I've had a lot of emails about recently.

Should you reinstall your Money 2005 version, before you open your file, install this update as well and you won't have any issues. If you don't install this update, you'll find that you can't open your file.

If you're using Money 2005 and have no issues, then there is no need to install this update.

The update can be found on the Microsoft Download Site. [Edit 3/3/2013, Microsoft have removed this, please visit Article 649 on my main website instead]

Some of the articles on moneymvps.org will be updated to feature this update shortly.

Money patch is no longer available

The '1105' patch for Microsoft Money no longer appears to be available. If you've not yet done your reinstallation CD (as described in this article) and have the patched version on your PC, then you're now risking the loss of your data, so once again, I advise to make the CD and test it (on another machine!).

If you don't want to go through the above, you have another option - export your files to QIF and then import them into the sunset edition. However, you'll also have to do this before you have to reinstall (if forced because of a new machine, crash etc). If you've got a simple file (e.g. one currency or not many accounts, this is a reasonable option). There is additional work here, but as the sunset edition is a downloadable free program, you can always reinstall if needed.
