On Mojave virtual machine, open the compressed Quicken data file to uncompress the file. On Mojave virtual machine, from iCloud drive copy the compressed Quicken data file to the Documents folder on the virtual machine drive. On host mac, copy the Quicken 2007.app to iCloud Drive. This is the cause of the frequently cited “unable to load file” message. NOTE: copying an uncompressed Quicken data file will NOT copy the entire file as the copy of the file in iCloud is significantly smaller than the source file. On host mac, copy the compressed Quicken data file to iCloud Drive. On host mac, compress the Quicken data file. Drag “Install macOS Mojave.app” onto “Install from disc or image”Ĭomplete creation of new virtual machine running macOS Mojave. “Install macOS Mojave.app” should be 6.05 GB. Link to download macOS Mojave from App Store: Get macOS Mojave on Reinstall VMware Fusion Player - Personal Use I had to manually uninstall VMware Fusion: I received the error “Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe, while launching the Virtual Machine (80467)”. Install VMware Fusion Player - Personal Use NOTE: It may have been possible to skip the below install/uninstall/install cycle had I read this first: Manually download VMware Fusion 12.0.0 (for Intel-based Macs) Obtain VMware Fusion Player - Personal Use Quicken: Quicken for Mac 2007 version 16.2.3 (initially as that was what I had been using and which worked then upgraded to 16.2.4 (build 25.886.100) which seems to continue to work).

Hopefully others can have a smoother experience with what I learned. I’m a newby to this process and after significant effort I was able to get Mac Quicken 2007 for Mac to run using my old data file within a virtual machine running Mac OS Mojave. I decided to upgrade when VMware Fusion Player 12 became available for free for home use. I had not upgraded to Mac OS Catalina only because Quicken 2007 for Mac was not compatible. After I evaluated all the new competition, I concluded that nothing could touch the efficiency and versatility of the Quicken version I've been using for about 20 years! Amazing. I'll do a lot more testing, but so far it looks like I'll be able to continue using Quicken 2007 for Mac for the foreseeable future. That allowed me to reassign CMD-H to my primary checking account and restore CMD-R for starting a Quick Report. Fortunately, Parallels does a nice job of managing keyboard shortcuts at various system levels. Quicken behaved itself fine from the start, but I had to revisit the setup of some of my keyboard shortcuts. Then I set up Quicken and moved a compressed copy of the data file via a thumb drive. I re-downloaded and properly installed Parallels Tools, got it configured right. Tech support alerted me to my problem though not the exact solution. Overall, I think the help file for installing Mojave via Parallels was the easiest to execute. I did have a problem and used the 24/7 live tech support on Sunday afternoon. I decided that the cost of paying for Parallels was worth it. That in turn allowed me to set up Quicken Mac 2007 16.2.4 (build 25.686.100). I went with Parallels to host my virtual machine running Mojave. Today I finally set up my new iMac running Catalina. ![]()
