2005 Premium. When I attempt to back up my file, a box appears that says "Preparing to Install". Then another message comes up "Quicken installation has detected an open Quicken Application. Please close the application and try again". I click "OK" on this message and it comes up two more times and I click "OK" again and again. Then everything works fine. I'm wondering why these messages come up and what I can do to stop them. Any help would be appreciated.

Some people have reported success by quitting out of Quicken while leaving the install dialog open, then inserting the Quicken CD and letting it run its course.
I had that problem until I updated to Release R5.
In my case if I was signed in as an administrator this problem did not occur.
