Hi, Gang.
When I did my regular One Step Update yesterday, I was notified of the
"QUICKEN 2007 RELEASE 3 UPDATE - January 2007". I clicked Update Now, of
course, and the update downloaded to my computer, but when it tried to
install, it bombed, complaining that there's not enough space on my hard
drive. Says it needs 42 MB. But my Quicken volume - each and every one of
my dozen or so volumes - has a GB or more free.
In my archives I find posts in this NG from a few years ago, telling how to
start the qwpatch.exe file manually to do the update. But that didn't work
this time, either; it failed with the same error message.
I'm running Quicken 2007 Basic on Windows Vista Ultimate x64 RTM.
When I look at qwpatch.exe with Notepad, it's mostly unreadable code, of
course, but there is a text area that lists a half-dozen or more Windows
versions, from 3.1 to WinXP and Windows Server - but not Windows Vista. It
looks to me like Intuit's programmers were asleep at the switch again.
:>( I know Vista is not generally available, but it was released to
businesses and volume buyers over a month ago, and Intuit should have
expected that many of us would already be using it. There was no problem
installing Q2005, Q2006 and Q2007 during the beta period, or installing
Q2007 to Vista RTM a couple of times last month and getting Release 2.
Oh, well. Q runs fine without the update, so maybe I'll just wait until the
programmers wake up. Or maybe I'll try to email them and see if I can get
their attention.
Has anyone else tried to update to Revision 3 on a Vista system?

The upgrade ran fine under Vista Ultimate this morning, RC. No problems at
all. In fact, until I read your post, I had forgotten that the update ran.

Please log in for more thread options Hi, Ken.
Quicken Releases usually update just fine on mine, too, but this one
doesn't. As I told John, I have the .exe patch file; it starts, then
aborts, complaining of lack of disk space.
Maybe it's because I'm running on 64-bit Vista?

Perhaps so. I don't know. I have 32-bit Vista here.

The Q2007 R3 release does not seem to be available for manual
update yet, but when it is, it should be available here
http://tinyurl.com/t4zs5
I think if you go there now and click the "Notify me by email if
this answer is updated" button near the bottom of the screen,
you will get an email when the manual update is available (my
guess is that should be fairly soon). Then you can download and
run that .exe file to apply the R3 release.
