Update August 15th: How to get the free basic version of Express Invoice working ( Easy after all! ) : Download the newest version of Express Invoice ( at this time it is 3.25 ) .. and install.

To continue using Express Invoice follow these steps in Windows Vista ( sorry no mac or xp instructions but they are likely similar ) :

1. In your control panel open “Add and Remove Programs”
2. Double click on Express Invoice

4. Click next one more time.
5. Express Invoice should open up in Free Basic Mode… ( minus a few pro features ).
