Palo Alto Business Plan Pro 2005 [Old Version] review:1 stars (Won't even install without manual hack) - So, I wanted some software help in writing my very first ever business plan. This one came highly recommended from reviews here, and elsewhere. So I bought a copy.
Guess what? Won't install. Get "Error 1935". I click on 'Contact Us' from the installer. Tech Support? It's a toll call-- no 800 number. So I go to the web page. Track down an article on this problem. The Fix? About an hour's worth of manual labor on my part that *might* fix it-- Palo Alto Software would really like to hear from me if it works.
Not likely. This is being returned today.
1 star for putting a product on the floor that won't install, and then offering a fix that requires 21 manual steps, including a diagnostic boot in Windows XP.
I'll just write up my business plan in Word, thank you very much.5 stars (Perfect for me...) - It has everything that I need, easy to understand it complicate and not complicate business plans (as I wish). Also one of the features I loved it is sample business plans they cover almost all kind of business. It is perfect... I strongly recommend it.
