Hi RJD856
I'm not an experienced IT person so I'll suggest a couple of things for you to try and if that doesn't work, start a new thread on here to get attention from the Forum users who are good with Legacy versions.
Try changing the Compatibilty Properties on the Setup.exe file for the Installer (right mouse click - Properties - Compatibility) and Run the program in and older version of Windows.
Then try right clicking on the Setup.exe and choose Run as Administrator - you may need to check your overall Administrator status but I'm not au fait with this bit as I am the only user and Administrator from the beginning.
As a last resort, I have found that copying the whole program folder for MYOB from your old computer to the new one and then finding the MYOBP.exe file and sending to Desktop to open the file seems to work. The links with Office won't but there are workarounds for this.
Good luck.

Hi Liz,
Just for the record, you are awesome. The last resort idea worked (copying program folder) and it all looks good to me. I don't need the office link but would be interested in trying to set it up anyway if you have any idea about workarounds

Hi RJD856
The workarounds are generally for the reports - you can Send to Tab-delimited Text file or Comma Separated Text file (.txt) which you can then open from Excel and save into the format you want to work with e.g. xlxs. For Sales Invoices, from within the invoice, you can do a Send to Disk and save the invoice as a .pdf and attach it to an email. You can also use Print and change the Printer to Microsoft Print to PDF and save this and then email.
Cheers
Liz
