My guess is this is lack of regression testing and takes place on Win2K.
A little sleuthing and a small batch file solved the problen for me.
Just copy the and paste into notepad. Save the file as FixQuick.bat and
run. Watch your problems melt away!
@echo off
REM NAME: FixQuick.bat
REM PURPOSE: Get around a bug that cause the false error:
REM This version of Quickbooks requires Microsoft
REM Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
REM NOTE 1: You will require Power User or Administrator rights
REM for this file to execute successfully
REM NOTE 2: If QuickBooks or Internet Explorer are not installed in
REM the default directories you will need to alter the paths
REM that are shown below
REM BY: Al Weisenborn (qlw@qsrhelp.com)

REM Add the the Qucibooks path to registry
REM
*********************************************************************************
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\iexplore.exe"
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\iexplore.exe" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d "c:\program files\Internet
Explorer"
REM Start QuickBooks 2005
REM
*********************************************************************************
"C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks 2005\QBW32Pro.exe"
REM Get rid of the registry setting because it will cause
REM Explorer to open instead of internet explore
REM
*********************************************************************************
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\iexplore.exe" /f
