Quicken 2018 Deluxe Update

Oct 21, 2018 2 Replies

Running Quicken 2018 Deluxe, when I do a One Step Update, I get the message "A free update to Quicken is available." I click "Download Update..." It does an automatic backup. In the update Windows that then appears, it tells me I'm running R14.23 and the latest version is R14.27. I click "Update" and I get the message



"An error occurred



quickenPatch needs administrative privileges to update Quicken. You can do this in either of two ways:


  1. When prompted, enter an administrator's username and password.


  1. In Windows Explorer right click quickenPatch.exe and click "Run as Administrator."



Since I am never prompted, I can't do number 1, so I tried number 2. quickenpatch.exe was in c:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken, so I went there and did as the message said. I then get the message



"An error occurred



Unable to check for updates, the server file failed to load."



Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong with the update? What should I do now?


I suggest you download and apply the Mondo Patch:

Thanks very much. That worked.
