3. Double-click the qwpatch.exe file, which is located in the update directory.
4. Follow the update wizard instructions to complete the installation.
5. Once the update has completed, check your Quicken 2001 program release to ensure it is now Release 3 (R3).

Note: If the Quicken 2001 program is uninstalled after updating to R3 and reinstalled from your original Quicken 2001 CD-ROM, you must also reinstall the update.
