Mysterious update

Mar 14, 2010 6 Replies

Q2009 Deluxe Release R7. Every time I start it up it asks me if I want to update the program. This isn't like the financial inst update [that seems to happen automatically with one-step-update] but looks like it wants to do a *real* update. I went to the quicken site and Intuit thinks that R7 is the most recent. Anyone know what might be going on? At the least, it means I can't download the update myself to install it [since intuit doesn't have a later update than the one I have], which is a bit of a nuisance. I suppose I could back up everything, let it do the update [which'll require my running Q as admin] and see what breaks [or doesn't]....

One Step Update update *your* data.

If I'm not mistaken, the update you're referring to updates "Quicken's* data (eg, Financial Institutions).

Let it update.

How long have you been running Q2009 ? When have you done a Step Update - which also accesses Quicken software updates

} How long have you been running Q2009 ?

A fair number of months now -- don't remember when I upgraded from Q2006,,

I do a one step update about three or four times a week to keep an eye on my accounts. That link is the one I found previously that just says that R6, from last october, is the most recent one. I downloaded and installed that just a month or so ago [I still have the file on my system: QW097Patch.exe]. And so I can't figure out what 'update' quicken is trying to install nor can I find a place on the intuit site to download it [so I can install it directly, myself].

I was under the impression that one-step update *included* quicken's data. I know for-sure that I've seen "updating financial institution information" in the dialogue box when I've done 1-s-u's

When finished, follow the instructions at the top of this article to ensure that Quicken has been updated to Release R7.

And when I look at Help/About I see:

Quicken 2009 Deluxe Release R 7

Also, I just downloaded the patch from that page and compared it with the version I had previously downloaded and installed:

Comparing files QW09R7Patch.exe and QW09R7PATCHNEW.EXE FC: no differences encountered

So it *LOOKS* like I'm already up to date, but for some reason Q doesn't think so. I suppose I could try re-installing the R7 patch just to see what happens, if anything.
