Your Money 2005 disk will not install the latest, updated version of Money 2005 and Money 2005 can no longer be updated online. The version installed by your disk will not be able to read your .mny data file.

If you are in the UK, install http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26915.

If using the International English version of Money 2005, install http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26922.

If in the US, install Money Sunset http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/athome/microsoft-money.aspx.

 

Money expects its data file to be on the local machine. You can use SyncToy http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=15155 to synchronise Money data file versions (and other files) on different machines.
