I decided to install Q-2013 on my Win 8 laptop, that had never had Quicken on it before.
First, I ran a scan for Quicken with RegScanner. Came up with zero entries as one would expect.
Then I installed Q-2013 R1 from my CD. That was fine except that it asked for a reboot, something I did not expect.
I then ran RegScanner and it found 2772 instances of Quicken. (!!!)
Next, I executed Q and stocked it from a backup file..
Next, I updated it to R12. Unlike on my desktop, the update went fine. RegScanner found 2813 items.
Since Q was working fine, I decided to uninstall it. I used "Advanced Uninstaller" with its registry cleaner. Then I ran CCleaner's registry cleaner. Finally, I ran QCleanUI.
RegScanner found only 78 instances of Quicken.
These results are very different from what I found on my desktop machine.
I'm stumped.
