Installing and Updating (Windows)
Could not update to Version R34.xx
spenmay1943
I could not update to version R34.20. A message said another program was using Quicken. I deleted Quicken from the cloud and that message no longer appears. BUT, when I search for updates to Quicken, it says I have latest version which is R34.19.

Down load and run the Mondo patch. Get it

.

I followed the instructions for downloading the Mondo Patch. During the download it brought up a Quicken screen with an error message stating something about improper protocol. In essence I didn't get any more instructions. BUT I went into Quicken and check for updates, said install and it did!!! I have no idea why or how it happened, but it did.

Just to clarify -
The above download is from the Quicken support website
and any error messages would have been "website" related and not really the Quicken software product.

Hello
@spenmay1943
,
Thank you for reaching out to Quicken Community. I apologize you are having this issue. At this time version, R34.20 is no longer available for download since there were some issues with installing it. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I could not update to version R34.24. Yesterday I had same problem with update R34.20. You responded and I thank you. Is the same type of problem happening with this update? A message said another program was using Quicken.

Thanks! I do not have Norton installed. I use another security software. The update R34.24 failed this AM also. I guess I will wait until Quicken creates a fix for whatever this issue maybe. The same error message, "another program using this file".

There are a few other discussions going on in the Community about this "file in use" issue.
May I ask what other security software you are using?
Are you also using feature that could be called "Live Backup" (immediately creates a backup of any new or changed file to a cloud or external storage location). I'm just guessing, but this could be what's interfering with the installation process. If that were the case, does your backup process have a delay feature (e.g., delay backup for 15 minutes)? This would allow installation to proceed without live backup getting in the way. Many installation files are short-lived or temporary in nature and don't really need to be backed up immediately.

I don't have any "Live Backup" that I'm aware of. I use Trend Micro Internet Security.

Same problem today, another program using file. If this isn't resolved by mid week, I will have to call Quicken technical support, Thanks for your help.

Hi
@spenmay1943
,
Questions:
Are you using Scheduled Updates?
What is the path to your Program Files and Data Files?
Is your computer, defragmenting your partition, running in the background?
Have you scanned for Viruses?
How much memory is installed?
Have you cleaned your computer?
Cleaned your Windows Registry?

I appreciate the suggestions but I do not believe any of the suggestions are the reason for the fix not downloading.
