Hi, John.
Maybe they're running even further behind. ;^{ That tinyurl takes me to
the update for "Release 2 (R2), the current release". I already have the R3
patch file (qwpatch.exe) on my hard drive, but it aborts the install because
it thinks that I don't have 42 MB free on my QuickenW volume.
I got the automated reply to my bug report. Let's give 'em a day or two -
or the weekend - to figure it out.
Meanwhile, Ken Blake says it updated fine this morning on his Vista machine,
so maybe it's some other problem on my computer.
