Has anyone tried using Money with Windows 11?

There were a couple of reports that Money worked fine with the Windows 11 preview.  I expect that it will also work fine with the release version.

Not sure if Windows 11 allows Compatibility mode. I guess that would allow Windows 10 mode.

Hi, I confirm that MS Money Plus Deluxe version 17.0.120.3817 works perfectly fine in Windows 11.
If you haven't upgraded, please note in your Add/remove program setting pane what the file size is. 
I just noticed the app size in windows 11 is reported as 101GB. Not sure why, and it has not affected functionality or speed.

It looks like I am not going to be able to upgrade to Windows 11 on my current computer.  If I choose to buy a new Windows 11 computer, will I be able to install the sunset edition on it.  I do have a copy of the setup.exe file stored on my current computer, but don't know if it is a full install or just a downloader.  Has anyone tried a clean install on Windows 11?

I have clean installed Money 2005 UK on Windows 11.
I would expect any program that installed on Windows 10 to have no problems with Windows 11.

The Money DeLuxe Sunset installer USMoneyDlxSunset.exe has a file size of 34.0 MB (35,677,984 bytes).

Money runs just fine on Windows 11 and the installation files are still available.  See:


The links to the US Money Sunset installation file is dead, but you can download it from the wayback machine here:


The installation file should be USMoneyDlxSunset.exe with 35,677,984 Bytes and a SHA256 hash of A1B320C255AFC400921B1771D06C65F039B47E71906095264B3BCFEE32BCD61F

If you are installing US Money Sunset you should also do the replacement of the mnyob99.dll file as described on this page:


If you need help with that replacement, have a look at this site:


which also has this link to the replacement dll:
Post back if you need more help.

Back in 2015, when I installed Money Plus Sunset Deluxe, it was very important not to have Edge installed as the default browser. This had to be IE11. But now I need to install Money again on my new Windows 11 PC........ and I don't think IE11 can still be installed. Is this a problem during the installation? Anything else I should be careful with? 
Thanks, Mark

Even back in 2015 you didn't need to set your default browser to the IE11 desktop application to install Money.  Money needed some components of the IE11 desktop application but doesn't use the IE11 browser.

The IE11 desktop application (or an earlier version) was included with all versions of Windows up to Windows 10.  Money uses some components of IE11 and Money will run fine as long as you don't remove those IE11 components.  You don't need to use the IE11 application as your default browser.  You can use whichever browser you like.

With Windows 11, the IE11 desktop application is gone but the components of IE11 that Money needs are still installed.  This is for backward compatibility with many applications, - not just Money.    Going forward, it seems likely that Microsoft will continue to provide these IE11 components, but life is uncertain.  Only time will tell.  I expect that even if Microsoft removes components that are needed by Money (and many other applications) there will quickly be workarounds developed by computer-savvy users.

Note that with Windows 11, Microsoft is making it very difficult to have a default browser other than Edge.  There is a lot of griping about this in the user community.  It is not clear how this will play out.

Also note that Edge does have an "IE11 Mode" that allows Edge to access sites that are built for IE11.  This is mostly needed in corporate environments with internal web pages that are coded for IE11.
