Name the application “Microsoft Money” and click OK.
Install a Wine Engine - I used WS9Wine1.7.30 - and click “Create New Blank Wrapper”. Download Microsoft Money Plus Sunset Deluxe. So, for the record, here are the steps and settings I used. Even the startup splash screen music and sound effects worked! Printing reports works on my OS X default printer. This time, I’m on OS X Yosemite and wanted to try using Wineskin: a relatively new project that lets you easily package Windows applications with Wine libraries and make it look like any other application on your Mac.Īnd it is perfect. Now, fast forward to 2014, and I found myself again trying to improve how I use Microsoft Money within OS X. Much more heavy weight then I really wanted to, but at least I was able to keep using my favorite financial record keeping program. Finally, I ended up using VMWare and Windows on a Bootcamp partition. I tried to get it working with Wine and Crossover, but there were too many graphical and stability issues. Then about three years ago I switched to a Mac, and found myself struggling to keep using Microsoft Money as the only Windows program I couldn’t easily replace with an OS X equivalent. (There actually has been one patch released, but I encourage you to read Raymond Chen’s version of the patch, because it scores some serious cool geek points.) 🙂įortunately, Microsoft released a free version of Microsoft Money Plus that continues to work in all modern versions of Windows. Of course, having almost two decades worth of data recorded in Money made it very sticky for me, too. I just found its workflow works better for me. I’ve always found Money better than many other alternatives I’ve tried - including the ever-popular Quicken. I’ve been a user of Microsoft Money since 1995, so I was always a little bit sad when Microsoft sunset support for the application in 2011.
