Mac Quicken 2007 10/14/2009 update horribly broken!

I opened Mac Quicken 2007 just now, and a browser window
popped up and said I had to upgrade.

I got the dmg, and when it tried to install, I got
the message that it can't find an install of Quicken 2007
and quits. Repeatedly. Yet it is as big as life in the
Applications directory.

I reread the above instructions. It says that if it
can 't find it, you have to reinstall it from disk or
download.

Why? It has been running over a year now, and still runs.
What's up with that? How stupid are the Intuit programmers
anyway?

Has anyone seen this? I'm reluctant to reinstall because
as bad as their progammers are, it will no doubt erase all
my data.

So no install happened. I opened Quicken again and it didn't
tell me to update this time. In fact, it seemed to work I
imported a qif file as I wanted to when I started tonight,
and it took.

Then I tried to download my bank's transactions. It won't
connect and tells me to contact my bank. (was Commerce Bank,
now TD Bank, but TD has been working for months). So doubting
anything was wrong, I fired up iBank, which I also have running.
Well, it won't connect any longer either, so I will have to
cotact them. Anybody happen to know what they broke?

Why is ALL Mac (and presumably Windoze) financial software
so crappy? Can't they hire just one capable programmer?

Thanks in advance for any help in dealing with this Quicken crap.
