Do you really mean "2002" -
where are you downloading this very old version -
and why ?

If you do install an older version you will need to update it.  One of the SuperUsers has posted the update patches for older versions (2000 and newer) of Quicken

You should at least try to convert to the 2013 version since you don’t use any online services or download transactions now. Starting in 2014 they instituted an ID password to get into your own data. I’m staying on 2013. 

You can download 2013 Deluxe for free using this how to convert article.  It’s under Converting from Quicken 2004-2009.

FYI - All Quicken versions prior to QW2010 store your data in a series of files all sharing the same filename but with different extensions like - .IDX, .QEL, .QPH & .QDF, and all 4 of those files were rolled into a single-file .QDF in starting in 2010.

Hi @"dcritter

Smart Screen is a Security Feature of Windows 10 and 11. I would call Microsoft Support. Quicken 2002 does not run in Windows 10 or in Windows 11.

To bypass Windows Defenders SmartScreen, open Windows Security, select Apps & browser control, Reputation-based protection settings, and the Check apps and files switch to Off.

HAVE already bypassed the Smart Screen and placed on Off. Windows 10 does not support quicken 2002. Need to convert to Quicken 2004 then to 2013.

You may install Quicken 2002 on Windows 10.  If you do, you should also download and apply the Quicken 2002  Release R2 Deluxe patch available at: https://www.quicknperlwiz.com/quickenpatches.html

If you want, you may attempt the upgrade from Quicken 2002 to Quicken 2004 and then to Quicken 2013.  If you haven't already, you may want to review: https://www.quicken.com/support/how-and-when-use-intermediate-version-convert-older-versions-quicken

As none of these programs were implemented for Windows 10, they may need to be set to run in a Windows compatibility mode.
