That's the only sort-of thing I can think of: that's sloppy programming,
IMO, and it means that I can't set up quicken to run out of *two* limited
accounts [e.g., mine and my wife's], since only one of those accounts can
do the installation.. Sigh.

Actually, you can do the install from two users. Set both to admin
rights, do the install from one, run the backup. Go to the other, run
Install/repair from that account, do the backup. Then set them both to
limited.

Hmm.. that's not working for me now: when I install as admin, there's
[apparently] *nothing* I can do from my limited acct that'll get Q2006 to
behave. Would it really be different if the initial install were via a
limited-made-admin rather than an always-admin acct?
