Yes the issue is basically that the install is failing and in doing so the associations with .QFX, .QDF, .QDF-Backup have been wiped out and as such Windows doesn't know the right program to open these file types. Instead it is trying to open them with Internet Explorer.Signature:

You should be able to reset the file type association by right-clicking on the file, select Open With..., Quicken, and check Always use this app.... If Quicken doesn't appear as an app, select More Apps and Look for another app on this PC, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken and select qw.exe.

I see there is an open issue with importing QFX files with a message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network drive that is currently not available." I also get this message if you double-click a Quicken Backup File. Don't think that is correct...Quicken user since 1995...0

New to the community and it would appear I'm having a similar type of issue... Quicken Windows working fine yesterday, today when I double-click on QDF file a dialog box opens up saying "Please Wait While Windows Configures Quicken". It then appears to start an install and then another dialog box opens saying "There are Quicken components currently open and can not be uninstalled. Please close Quicken and try uninstalling again"... Any thoughts on what's going on and how to fix?0

Thanks, Sherlock! I haven't seen that happen that way before, but Chris answered with the technical trail. Whew! I am glad it was an easy fix! Thanks to all!0

Tried the "open with..." and it didn't work. It still tries running the installer. I think there must be something left over from the recent update.0
