Now i have to migrate this Installation to a new Computer with windows 11 and without CD.
Only copy the Files
C:\program Files\Lexware\Quicken\2011\…
C:\ProgramData\Lexware\Quicken\2011\…
C:\user\nnn\AppData\Roaming\Lexware\…
C:\user\nnn\Documents\Lexware\Quicken\2011\

from the old Computer with Win7 to the new Computer with win11 does not work correctly.
What shall I do?

    @Hans24 when you say "does not work correctly", what exactly does that mean? Does the program open correctly? Do some of the options or settings not work correctly? Is the screen resolution not right?

    "Lexware"

    This indicates an obsolete version of "Quicken for Germany".
    A more recent version can be found at http://www.lexware.de/ and under https://shop.lexware.de/lexware-finanzmanager

    Do you still have the original installation CD?
    If yes, copy the entire CD on to a USB stick using Windows 7, move the USB stick to Windows 11 and try to install Quicken from there.
    Alternatively, insert the CD into your Windows 7 system and see if you can reach the CD drive thru the Ethernet network from Windows 11.

    Windows software cannot be copied piece-meal from one computer to another. It must be installed from installation media to also install / update the Windows Registry and other bits and pieces scattered all over.

    @UKR: it starts not. It says: "Klasse nicht registriert. Bitte legen Sie die Quicken CD-ROM ein und führen Sie eine Reparaturinstallation durch."

    The translation is: "Class not registered. Please insert the Quicken CD-ROM and perform a repair installation."

    You didn't answer my question … Do you still have the original installation CD? If so, please follow my earlier instructions to perform a full installation.

    I'm sorry, but there isn't anything else we can do from here to help. Quicken (US) and this Quicken Community does not support the German version of Quicken. You need to contact Lexware.

    Alles klar?

    @Hans24 On a Windows PC, you can NEVER just copy program files … because that won't cause the various Win registry entries to be correctly updated and there's usually places (in system folders) where components of any Win program are stored.

    You need to INSTALL the program.

    Do you have access to another computer (or, a friend's computer) where you can copy the CD to a USB (thumb) drive and install from it?

    OR, are you saying that you don't have the CD? If so, how did you install QW2011 the first time?

    You're welcome.
    Out of curiosity … how are you going to proceed now?
