There is a big difference between NT and Win9x/ME such as mewmory = models, DOS interupt calls, etc.
It says IE6 so there are new dependencies as IE6 was retired long ago.
Speaking of which, WinXP is a dead OS. You can use it, just do NOT = connect to the Internet. Any PC being used for finance and account = access online should not be done on a winXP platform anymore.
Why take the risk ?
That should have been...

Q2015, any flavor, will NOT install on Win XP ... by design. MS closed out XP in April 2014 ... and Intuit followed suit.

Most do or allow for 1 additional year after the EoL which would be April '15.
You're "Most" is irrelevant. Q2015 will NOT install on XP. Check the QLC forum if you don't believe me.

I don't have to. I have no doubt. We are discussing a product from a company with a 3 year planned obsolescence strategy.

The "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run" attitude is alive and well, just ask Oracle. Mainly they did it because Intuit was already in the process of dumping Quicken and they wanted to hasten its demise to justify shifting to being a high risk lender. They didn't do their own accounting very well, they load all their costs on the Quicken team and assign all the Quicken related product profits (financial institution QXF fees, TurboTax, etc) to the spinoff initiative. That people will still pay a premium to use an undifferentiated offering like intuit mortgage after they no longer have Quicken to anchor their reputation is laughably naive. The idea that what a company used to do says anything about it is long dead. Anyway, the scheme is to get rich quick writing shaky mortgages and get the heck out of Dodge (siphon out the profits) before the institutional investors holding the mortgage pools come back looking for cash. Wow, where did they think up a genius plan like that?

(Every few months another automatic .NET update has a conflict with Quicken. For me XP means the 64 bit version.) Easier to run a good browser and antivirus on an OS that isn't involved in Microsoft's monopoly games, even if you have to carve up installers and executables to keep it going. The only thing that's changed since "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run" is the addition of forced updates to plug intentionally included security holes.
