error code 7184

Hi all, I am having problems when installing an old version of quicken. I got the link from a consultant. The program installs then asks for the activation code which I enter. It then gives an error code 7184 and shuts down Does anyone have any solution to this problem. Thank you

Hi @Chrisbe1

The first thing I'd recommend is to ensure your file name is less than 8 characters and retry after this.

Failing this, I'd recommend performing a clean uninstall & reinstall of your software. I'll link a step by step guide that outlines this below.

Thank you Rav. I will try that. The quicken i am trying to install is home and business 2007 upgrade. I have the original disc and the key. I get a com. error as well.

hi @Chrisbe1 ,

is this error after installation, when you try to activate the product?

Chrisbe1

Hi Mario yes. The consultant sent me a link which i downloaded I have the disc but the upgrade is what i have to download. The link has the same key. When I type the key in it says it has to close and I will loose all data. I asked if i had to uninstall the program from the other computer as the license is only valid for one but the consultant said that should not be a problem. I am hesitant to remove from the original computer as i need a working program. I want to do a clean reset on the original computer but until I can get a working quicken on the new one im a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place.
