How to install an old version in Windows 10 when you get registry font access errors

This worked for QB2000 in a Feb 2023 updated Windows 10 installation.  I have not found info to do this anywhere else that still works.  You need to copy the install app from program files(x86) from your existing working version to do this.

To install in new windows 10:
install as usual in Win 10 and get "there was a problem accessing the fonts section of the registry" error.  Install aborts but leaves a folder in prog files (x86).
Copy full intuit folder from program files of an prior installation that works over on top of the new program files intuit folder.
Set compatibility mode of QBW32.exe app to XP SP2. -not needed for me, though suggested by others.
run QBW32.exe as normal.

You're welcome.
