I remember going through this hassle... after re-installing Quicken
with admin rights, I still had some sort of error whenever I tried
to do a backup, and it started trying to install stuff. I tracked
it down to olbackup.exe in the main Quicken installation directory.
It was trying to enable some sort of online backup service.
I renamed olbackup.exe to olbackup-orig.exe and copied a different
program into olbackup.exe -- a program that did nothing without any
command line args (test.exe from Cygwin). That seemed to fix the
problem.
Good luck -- Mark
