Installing Money Plus Deluxe error

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]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"

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.

I'm installing money plus deluxe in windows xp. After signing in,
synchronizing, I received error 17.0. I'm unable to find the report for this
error and I'm unable to do anything until I end money in my task manager.

17.0 would be a version number rather than an error number.

What is the actual error message?

Hi, it was Error 17.0. I was unable to find anything on it. However, I did
get through to technical support after many hours on hold. We had a lot of
difficulty. If anyone experiences the same problem this is what we ended up
doing: Money Plus was already loaded. I opened the sample money from
programs, restored my back up final and it seemed to work. However we still
had some problems. I did receive Error 17.0. I'm not sure if this is the
error 17.0 but money plus wouldn't recognize my budget from M06 so I had to
create a new one. After I did, I didn't receive Error 17.0 again and I had
access to my files. Wow! this could really drive someone to drink! Thanks
for getting back to me.

Thanks for the info. I had not seen reference to that error.
