I am getting the oh so wonderful "some components needed to run money could
not be installed" error

this is a fresh install of Windows Vista 64bit, all that is installed is
Firefox, Combined community codec, Logmein, and Office 2007

I have already tried:
-Turn of UAC
-Use Run as Administrator (done this on every setup file i could find)
-Attempted install of demo as well as my purchased copy
-Created a new user and attempted to install
-Set internet explorer settings to lowest possible
-Set IE settings to default
-Boot into diognostic mode
-Reset the permissions on the registry (like 5 times with running the
command line as administrator)

I am running out of hope here any suggestions, since i JUST installed vista
i doubt reformatting is going to do anything.... i really like MS Money Vs
quicken but its not looking like i am going to be able to use the better
product, you think MS money would work perfectly with their own OS :-/

I don't remember doing anything special, and Money 2007 is running fine on
my Vista64 computer with Office 2007. I ran the install as admin, and then
opened Money the first time using Run as Admin, so it could intall any
updates. Any further updates require running once as admin to get installed.
I would expect Money Plus to be better behaved than Money 2007, if anything.

Did you install Vista SP1? I don't use Firefox, but maybe you want to
uninstall that before installing Money. I doubt it should matter, but Money
does use IE. Logmein might be another possible issue, but I don't use it so
I don't know.

You need to make sure you have all the Vista updates.

The System does have all updates and it has SP1 on the disk

If you are still receving that error message of "setup was unable to install
some of the components needed to run money" and you have already reset the
security settings along with a few other steps, than you may need to call
Microsoft Money tech support so that they can run a tool in cooperation with
Vista support to reset the registry permissions to allow you to install the
Microsoft Money program, this is necesary since it is a permissions that is
blocking the installation and resetting the security settings did not work
Microsoft Money tech support phone number is 1-866-834-8741 or if you would
prefer via email go to www.support.msn.com and submit your request under Msn
Money.
Hope this helps.
