How can I install on new computer? (Q Mac)

Question

Got a new MacBook Pro 14 (M1 Pro chip), now trying to load Quicken. I have a grayed-out Quicken icon on my dock, and no copy of Quicken application that I or macOS can find. I think I saw my data files.

I downloaded a new installer, launched that ok, double-clicked the installer, it opens & asks if I really want to open it & I click YES - all good. That gets me a box that says "Quicken is already installed" and asks me to open that - uh oh. That gets me a box that says "The application Quicken could not be launched because it is corrupt." - really, really uh-oh. Keep in mind I've already searched the whole computer for anything named "Quicken" and found nothing.

So now what?

DING!, turn lightbulb on, the penny dropped... Old Quicken had transformed into a hidden file in Applications. Once I found it, I was able to TRASH it, and install new version. I'll file this away for the future! Apologies for any confusion I created.
