That's not a version of KMM; it might be the version of some KDE
library. You probably have 4.8.x. Please confirm that, as there is
only a little continued support for version 4 on Windows. Most
development in now working on 5.1.x. You can try a newer version
from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://download.kde.org/stable/kmymoney/5.0.6/">https://download.kde.org/stable/kmymoney/5.0.6/</a>,
which is the latest stable build for Windows.<br>

That is a direct quote from Microsoft, and if you are still on
Windows 7, you might consider upgrading, or even take this as an
opportunity to switch to Linux, but that's a completely separate

I'll guess that is a deficiency in how the Windows installer was
built. However, if you look in C:\Program Files\KMyMoney\share\
(I'm not currently close to that VM, so it's from memory) there is a
folder with "check" in the name - the templates are in that folder.

Buy what? KMM is free (as in "free beer" as well as "free
speech".) In general, check printing works fine for single checks,
there is just a packaging anomaly in (some?) Windows versions, so it
doesn't seem to know where it put the templates. Let us (the list)
know if you get this working or not. We can revisit the possibility
of printing more than one check at a time later.<br>
