Brenda,
did you get an answer?
I know you can install on XP, then upgrade to Vista and it works.
however i've just put a fresh install of Windows 7 on my notebook, and
have the same issue.

QuickBooks 2007 or later will run on Vista. I will assume that Windows 7 has
the same restrictions on QuickBooks access to system files.

If you are so advanced to be using Window 7, give QuickBooks 2010 a try...

Charles,

I had Quickbooks 2002 running very happily on Vista. Just because of
the crappy way Quicken install the software it won't install. I'm happy
with QB2002 as a product. I don't need it to do much, and am not
prepared to buy into Quickens never ending need to upgrade.

I've got past most of the issues. Just getting an error saying that
"Quickbooks could not locate a valid Installation Key Code on this
machine."

I have a two user license, and copied all the files from the system
that works (Windows Server 2003). I copied the appropriate system32 dlls
and ran reboot.bat

I exported the Intuit registry settings and imported them.

Just feel I'm missing something small.

I actually got it to run. Ran process explorer from sysinternals. found
it was trying to access the intuit registration settings under
wow6432node. So exported the registry registration key, change the key
by adding wow6432node to thekey ie, ... software\wow6432node\intuit

imported the requistry settings.

Just need to re-register it.

Would save me hours of poking around. :D

look for reboot.bat in the quickbooks program files.
the reg keys are the same except under the
hklm\software\wow6432node\intuit rather than hklm\software\intuit.
However I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 so it may be different under other
versions. Info supplied without warranty, so back stuff up before you
muck around!!!

FIXED IT! :D

I reinstalled 2002 running setup as administrator and with
compatability for xpsp2 turned on and it worked!

Just had to set the desktop icon to run as administrator (no need for
xp compatability mode) and bobs your auntie.

I have a feeling that the registry import had alot to do with my
sucess.

Thaks so much for your assistance :)
Made my month!
