Quicken won't install Lee M. 06-16-2007

I've been running Quicken for over 10 years and upgraded to Quicken 2007
earlier this year (OS is WinXP SP2). Yesterday Quicken and all its data
files got erased (I had a data file backup) due to me running a program I
shouldn't have (stay away from "De-crapifier").

I cannot reinstall Quicken. The install program starts, then returns an
error 1324 saying "The path Program Files contains an invalid character."
The name of the "Program Files" folder has not changed. I have purged my
hard drive of all the leftover Quicken files (mostly shortcuts) and also
purged the registry of all Quicken references but nothing has helped. I
don't know what to try next.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you re-install Q or did you just copy files from the backup? You
*HAVE* to install Q. Copying files will not work..

It was just the data files I restored from the backup. I'm trying to
install Q2007 from the original CD using the install program. All the Q
program files have been deleted so it should look like a brand new install.

I used the "Windows installer cleanup" to remove install info for Quicken
and then installed just fine.
