Has anybody successfully installed and used Quicken with Vista? So far, we have found Q.2005,2006 & 2007 either will not finish installing or will not work.

Hi, Carolyn.
Of course we have! Many of us! If you are still asking that question, you just haven't been paying attention to the messages here. As I said in my first reply to your question, nearly 2 months ago: "I've used Q05, Q06 and Q07 with each Vista beta build (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and with the final Vista RTM." I did have an updating problem after installing Q07, but that has long since been resolved and Quicken 2007 Basic is again running fine on Vista Ultimate x64.
If you are unable to install Quicken on Vista, there must be something "special" about your computer. Can you please tell us the make and model of your computer (or the motherboard/CPU if you built it yourself). Also tell us which versions of Quicken and Vista and any other details that might help us help you. HOW are you trying to install Quicken? Please tell us, step by step, what you are doing and what result you get. What error messages are you seeing (verbatim, if possible)? What other symptoms do you see?
We want to help you, but we can't see your computer. All we know about it is what you tell us. So far, that is not much at all.

I haven't tried earlier versions, but Quicken 2007 works just fine under Vista here. No problems at all.
Quicken 2006 Premier Home and Business installed and runs perfect on my Vista 32 installation.
Intuit has said that the installation process can sometimes take a *long* time (30 minutes to 2 hours), and that even if Windows task manager says Quicken is not doing anything ... it is. You should not interrupt an installation.

I'm not doing Vista yet, maybe later, much later. Still running Q2006 Premier. I'm thinking of getting Q2008 Deluxe a few months after it comes out. On the other hand, since Intuit must be putting a lot of effort into getting 2007 to run properly on Vista, maybe I should wait until Q2009 ...
Can anybody say anything about betatesting 2008? Am I way off base in guessing that someone maust be doing that beta testing now?
I'd guess beta testing would start sometime in early May.
