Download file not usable

David

I have downloaded the Windows file. It is ‘Quicken-Canada.uk’ . Windows states it cannot open this file. Should I rename it to ‘.exe’ or what should I do with it?

Hi @David ,

Did you download the file, from your Quicken Account in Canada?

I suggest you repeat the download and allow it to complete:  https://download.quicken.com/windows/Quicken-Canada.exe

Sounds like you got it now?  Maybe you needed to turn off your anti-virus program?  Or use a different browser.

There should be no reason to rename a file if downloaded from an authentic Quicken site. I would suggest following this link to get the correct Canadian version.

"Quicken-Canada.uk" is neither an executable file, nor a Q data file, which is why Q can't open it (and I suspect that Window's can't use it either).

And, where did you obtain this file ... since Q hasn't been sold in the United Kingdom for quite a few years.  What URL did you download it from.

I was logged on to my account and used the 'support - download & install'link

Repeated - on third try the filename was correct???

Thanks - I suspect it was my AV program

NotACPA

Would you care to name that AV product ... so that we can be on the lookout for similar incidents in the future?
