Issue running under Parallels

kacheng

Hello,

I tried Quicken for Mac, but it seems a lot less full featured than what I am used to on Windows, so I thought I would try Parallels. I downloaded the Windows package from my Quicken account. It installed fine, but it exits after I allow it to make Admin changes to Windows. When I start it as Admin, it starts, then just exits. Reinstalled, same issue.

Where can I find logs? Any ideas why it might be happening?

Looks like this has been reported already.

Hello @kacheng,

This is a known issue that is being worked on. However, you are not completely out of luck while waiting for a fix.

I encounter the BindContent application error when opening Quicken for Windows in Parallels also. I find that clicking No on the message that comes up prevents Quicken from exiting.

After clicking No, the Quicken program stays open as a blank white screen with the File and Help options. Click File.

From there, you should be able to create a new file, or if you already have Quicken for Windows files on your computer, open an existing file. Quicken will want you to login prior to creating the new file or opening the existing file.

This should let you create/open and work with your Quicken file(s). Unfortunately, until this issue is fixed, it does require you to follow the process outlined above every time you open Quicken.

I hope this helps!
