Quicken Classic for Windows
Installing and Updating (Windows)
Update won't install, previous version found
hdsfjhdjkshfj
So I'm trying to install 2018 (to a second computer) upgrading from 2011. I removed the old version and tried to install the new one. But, Quicken keeps telling me to remove the old version. I search the computer but Quicken is not found. So i cant open the 2011 version because its not there but the 2018 version wont install because 2011 is present. Anyone else have a similar issue? What was your solution?

At the top of the support page you will see Premium Support - Learn More and then below an option for Chat or Phone Support. Neither of these two options or Premium Support (which you have to pay for) related..

There are artifacts from the previous install preventing you from installing. It's simplest to install Quicken with the original version intact. The install app is aware of the previous version and installs accordingly (for the future).
To fix the current issue, follow this procedure.
