You backed up your Quicken two thousand version software program on Microsoft Windows ninety eight second edition operating system and tried to restore it to the newer Quicken two thousand ten Deluxe on Microsoft Windows eXPerience operating system. Also, Quicken two thousand five version was installed previously on that Microsoft Windows eXPerience operating system base computer system and you removed that software. Quicken version two thousand ten version shows that you have a QDATA BACKUP-1.1.06QDF backup file.
However, you receive an ERROR message that appears stipulating that the Authentication of convert-stub.dll failed because it could not find that required file. You will want to install again that same exact version of Quicken software in order to convert your data file. What happens if installing that Quicken software again does nof fix your issue?
Now what do you do, in order to rectify this situation you ask? You can first try to update your version of Quicken two thousand ten software. You will want to browse to the "Help" menu in your Quicken software and have that program download and install any and all available updates.
Also, you might need to perform some file cleanup duties, for example you could delete duplicates in memorized transaction list(s) if that is necessary. Another option would be to remove that Quicken two thousand ten software program Deluxe version and then install your version of Quicken two thousand five if possible. Then you can try to convert that backup data into a Quicken two thousand five readable version.
If successful, you would then want to create another backup using Quicken two thousand five version of software. Obviously, you would save that backup and then install Quicken two thousand ten deluxe version and try to restore that backup data from a Quicken two thousand five backup file. You can try to make sure that all files of your old data set for example which includes Quicken Data File, Quicken Electronic Library, Quicken Price History, etcetera are copied to that folder where your Quicken software program installation expects to find the location of those finalized files.
Then you will want to double click on that .qdf file. Quicken software program should launch and offer to convert that data for you. You could also download an intermediate trial copy of Quicken in order to just convert a backup that will be recognized by Quicken two thousand ten version.
