<br>
Thanks for your input. I'd already been to those links; the
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/windows-install.html">http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/windows-install.html</a> gives the </font>kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe
where I installed the "KDE environment". I won't persevere with
this anymore as completely by chance I found a commercial piece of
software which seems to do the job. Once again thanks for your
input.<br>

I normally avoid SourceForge installations as they "always" seem

this case as I am so frustrated with trying to find a decent
piece of

Personal Accounting software to replace the one I've used for 19
years

but which will not run on 64bit Windows.

I am using Windows 7 and I am trying to install KMyMoney. I
have gone
<br>
through a process with kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe which
apparently

installed an environment which this programme needs.

I'm not an expert on the Windows side, but pending a more informed
response, I think I need to stop you now. So far, you're on the
right lines, but not from here on.

<blockquote type="cite"> Various links
<br>
suggested I download kmymoney-4.6.3.tar.bz2.sig which I did but
I don't
<br>
know how to run it (or what it does). I've now found
<br>
kmymoney-4.5.3.tar.bz2 and have downloaded it. After
experimenting, I
<br>
found the Wizard in WinRAR to extract it but am now stuck as to
what to
<br>
do next. There doesn't appear to be an exe file to run. Any
help you
<br>
can give me would be appreciated.

The versions you mentioned, I believe, are Linux versions, not
Windows. You should have been able to install KMyMoney as part of
the process you started. Here is a link to detailed instructions
for installing KDE -
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation">http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation</a> .
Better still, follow this -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/windows-install.html">http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/windows-install.html</a>
<br>
The next to last shot shows selection of KMyMoney. I think
version 4.6.2 should be there.
<br>
<br>
This next paragraph refers to the fist link I gave, but I'll leave
it in case it helps.
<br>
<br>
(Step 2 takes you to the Download packages section. After you
have selected the KDE version (stable latest?), and clicked Next,
you should see a list of available packages, And KMyMoney should
be show. Select that and proceed. KMyMoney should be installed
as part of that process, and should be in your Start menu.)
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let's know how it goes.
