There's something wrong in the installation routine in Money for
Pocket PC 2002 that prevents the installation on WM2003. But once
installed, (from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmo [...] money.mspx
; latest link ) it works ok. You have two options to get Money on your
WM2003 Pocket PC:

Upgrade: get Microsoft Money 2004, and use the client that goes with
that
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=adb03d3f-40f0-412b-
84c8-80302049e51d&DisplayLang=en) (one big URL) This won't sync to
Money 2003 though.

Solution if you want to keep Money 2003: as posted earlier:

-----

I got this from another user and it works great. I am
impressed.

Okay, this seems to be working, and first off, I must
give credit where credit is due...

Follow these instructions and you should be able to
install Money for the PPC (2003 version):

1. With the PPC in the cradle and ActiveSync running,
start the installation of Pocket Money for Money 2003 on the desktop.

2. Go through the normal install routine, following the
prompts on the desktop machine.

3. When the PPC pops up an error message, don't clear it.
Instead, open File Explorer on the PPC. (I don't know if the error
message needs to remain open, but without having experimented, I
suggest leaving it on screen for now.)

4. Browse to "My Device /Windows /AppMgr /Install" and
tap-and-hold on the file that is in that folder. (This is the one
caveat... your folder may end up being different, but something tells
me that this is the folder you should look in). The file should be
obviously related to Pocket Money.

5. When the menu appears, choose copy.

6. Still using File Explorer on the PPC, browse to "My
Device /Temp" and paste the file in this new folder.

7. Once the file appears in this new folder, single tap
the file. The installation will begin on its own.

8. Close the error message from the original installation.

9. After you have successfully installed Money, with the
PPC in the cradle, explore the PPC (use Explore from within
ActiveSync).

10. Browse to "My Device /Windows" and look for "MoneyCE".

11. Right click on this file and choose "Create a shortcut".

12. Move this shortcut to "My Device /Windows /Start
Menu /Programs" to finish the install.

13. Rename this new shortcut as "Microsoft Money".

14. Remove the PPC from the cradle. Check the settings
for the Money Conduit in ActiveSync, place the PPC back into the
cradle, and away you go.

At this point, it should be working like a charm. Money
shows up in the uninstall listing on the PPC, but I actually don't
know if it will work or not. Good luck!

"kengory" says 'the only version available now is Money 2004'

That is incorrect.

Here's one (Money2003), and the link for Money2004. There may be others too.
