Hi LaurieHead,
 
-When exactly you receive this error message? It is to start the computer or when starting any application?
 
We will put the computer in a clean boot state to identify the application at the origin of this problem:
 

Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Original title: setup.exe has stopped working

    I have read through the related forums and don't think I've seen a solid answer to this problem.  I'm trying to reinstall Quicken on my Dell Inspiron 530 Vista with service pack 2.  (Long and ugly tells how he got deleted at first - thank you, Intuit).

    When I try to install Quicken, I get the above error message.  I tried the clean boot solution; I tried to enter the installation and execution of the exe directly from there; I tried to do a right click to open/run as administrator... etc.

    I have NOT run BigFix.com or other third-party software to solve this problem - I'm very comfortable with another piece of software download and throw into the equation.  What is a corrupted registry and I have TO run third to fix?  Is it a bug of Vista - is there a fix of bug for her?

    I really don't like that to 'guilty' at this point, I just want to repair and recover my electronic payments!  Help, please!

    Hey, Keenon,.

    Please, remove all existing components of Quicken from the computer and do a fresh install.

    Step 1: use QcleanUI uninstall Quicken
