Q throwing Installation message

I have Quicken subscription on Windows 10. I keep my qdf file on my hard drive (C drive). This morning when I tried to open the qdf file I get "Please wait while Windows configures Quicken" and then "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. ... enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "Quicken.msi" in the box below." A search using the Windows search box finds no quicken.msi file on my PC. I also tried using a backup qdf-backup fle with the same result. How do I repair?

    Hello @david_garfield628,

    I can see you are using R55.13. There is currently a known issue with that version of Quicken where double clicking on a QDF file prompts it to run install scripts. You can bypass this issue by opening your Quicken program first, then go to File>Open Quicken File and selecting the QDF file you want to open.

    Thank you!

    Right click on the icon that you're using to open Q and then click Properties.

    AFAIK, installing R 55.15 should eliminate that problem.
