QUICKEN 5 FOR WINDOWS, RELEASE 5.0d
===================================
This README file explains how to update your version of Quicken 5 for
Windows to release 5.0d, which corrects a number of problems in 
earlier releases, including the problems with Subcategory Merge 
and File Validate.

For a detailed list of changes included in this release, go to the
end of this file and review the sections titled "CHANGES MADE TO 
QUICKEN 5 FOR WINDOWS IN THIS RELEASE" and "CHANGES MADE TO QUICKEN 
DELUXE 5 FOR WINDOWS IN THIS RELEASE."

The following products can be updated:
Quicken 5.0 for Windows
Quicken Deluxe 5.0 for Windows Floppy
Quicken Deluxe 5.0 for Windows CD
Quicken Financial Suite CD


STEP 1: CHECK THE RELEASE NUMBER OF YOUR VERSION OF QUICKEN
===========================================================
1. Start Quicken 5 for Windows.

2. Choose "About Quicken" from the Help menu.  

3. Look at the lower right corner of the window.  
   If it says "Release 5.0c" or "Release 5.0," proceed 
   to the next step.
   If it says "Release 5.0d," you already have the lastest 
   release and you do not need to install this update.

4. Exit Quicken 5 for Windows. Also, if you have Quicken 
   Deluxe or Quicken Financial Suite, exit all applications
   you are currently running (such as Quicken Home Inventory, 
   Finance 101, or Quicken Financial Planner).


STEP 2: DOWNLOAD AND COPY THE UPDATE FILE
=========================================
1. Create a directory called UPDATE.  

   Win 3.1:  From File Manager, choose Create Directory from 
   the File menu, type "c:\update", and press Enter.

   Win 95:  From the Windows Explorer, click the C drive icon, 
   choose New from the File menu, select Folder, type "update", 
   and then press Enter.

2. Through your online service select the apppropriate file 
   to download. Here are the files for the 
   Quicken For Windows 5.0 products:

   Quicken Regular: the file is qw50d.exe
   Quicken Deluxe Floppy: the file is dlx50d.exe
   Quicken Deluxe CD or Quicken Financial Suite CD: the file
   is cd50d.exe

3. Download the update file to your UPDATE directory. 
   
4. Extract the update file.

   From Win 3.1 File Manager or Win 95 Windows Explorer, 
   double-click the UPDATE directory, double-click the 
   update file. In Win 3.1, select Refresh from the Window
   menu. There will now be three files in the update directory.

STEP 2: INSTALL RELEASE 5.0d
============================
1. Run the update file.

   Win 3.1: From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from 
   File Manager.  
   Then type c:\update\update.exe and click OK.

   Win 95: Click the Start button, then choose Run.  
   Then type c:\update\update.exe and click OK. 

2. Follow the instructions on the screen.  When the Locate System
   to Update window appears, double-click the directory containing 
   your Quicken for Windows program files.  
   For example, if you installed Quicken in the default directory, 
   double-click c:\quickenw and then press Enter.

   When the update program displays this message: 
   "OK to update to Quicken 5 for Windows, release 5.0d," 
   click Yes. Do not change any options.

3. If the update program displays this message: "Patch warning. 
   Old File does not exist," click OK to close the message box
   and continue the update. The update program is trying to 
   update a Quicken Deluxe or Quicken Financial Suite 
   application that you have not installed. 

  

STEP 3: CHECK THAT RELEASE 5.0d IS PROPERLY INSTALLED
=====================================================
1. Start Quicken 5 for Windows.

2. Choose "About Quicken" from the Help menu.

3. Look at the lower right corner of the window.  If it says
   "Release 5.0d," release 5.0d was properly installed.

4. If it says "Release 5.0," double-check the directory in which
   Quicken 5 for Windows is located and repeat "STEP 2: INSTALL
   RELEASE 5.0d" above.


STEP 4: REMOVE THE FILES IN THE UPDATE DIRECTORY
================================================
Once you confirm that release 5.0d was successfully installed, you 
can safely remove the contents of the UPDATE directory and then 
delete the UPDATE directory.


IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
=====================
If you have questions about the update process, refer to the Intuit
Technical Support phone number in the back of your Quicken 5 for 
Windows User's Guide.
