When running "Setup.exe" from the CD I get the error : The AUTORUN.INF file
is missing or corrupt. I tried an older version from Money 2003 and get the
same error message. Using windows explorer the file is there and also
readable with notepad.
Any Ideas?

Did you do something like this?:

I am all in favor of killing promiscuous autorun, but there may be
some side effect of some methods.

Yes, I did this some time ago and forgot about it. How do I un-do it?

I would go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYSoesNotExist"

in regedit and delete the key. But maybe I would be wrong to do
that. I have that key fairly recently added myself.

You could save a restore point before making the change, and restore
that restore point if you wanted to undo it.

Of course let us know what you learn.

I took out the edit and retried installing Money and got the same response
"Autorun.inf" file missing or corrupted.

Hi - I was wondering if there was any further resolution to this issue. I am
having the exact same problem - and I too deleted the registry key as
recommended below and still cannot get the Money Plus Deluxe software to
install on my computer.
