Quicken 2006 for Windows -- Manual Update
Each Quicken 2006 product (Basic, Deluxe, Home & Business, and Premier) has its own specific update file. It is important that you match the correct update file to its associated Quicken product. Use the chart below to help you in this process.
Note: First, verify that downloading the manual update
is actually necessary for your version of Quicken. Do this
by checking
which release of Quicken is installed. If your version
of Quicken is already Release 3(R3), the current release,
you will not need to apply the manual update.
Note: If you have not yet tried to update from within
Quicken 2006, use the Quicken
One Step Update feature.
To manually download the update file for all Quicken 2006
versions (except the trial version, which cannot be updated):
- Click the link in the table below to manually download
the file.
Note: To get from Release 1 to the final release, it is necessary to install all of the files listed below. Install QW06R3PATCH.exe.
- In the File Download window, click Save.
- In the Save As window, choose a location on your
computer to save the file to, and click Save.
Note: The Quicken 2006 program does not have to be
installed on the computer you are using to download the updates
listed above. This offers the convenience of being able to
download the update file on a computer with internet access
and install it on a different computer with Quicken 2006 installed.
Once the Quicken 2006 update file has been downloaded, follow
these steps to update your Quicken 2006 program:
Note: All online banking and investment sessions must
be completed before updating your Quicken 2006 program.
- Locate the update file
on the computer that Quicken 2006 is installed.
- Double-click the manual download file to start the installation
wizard. Follow the update wizard instructions to complete
the installation.
- Once the update has completed, check
your Quicken 2006 program release to ensure it is now
Release 3(R3).
Note: If the Quicken 2006 program is uninstalled after
updating to R3 and reinstalled from your original Quicken 2006
CD-ROM, you must also reinstall
the update.

offered in R3, please see What's
new in Release 3(R3) of Quicken 2006?
