Mac OS X Snow Leopard AqBanking Does Not Work

[Andre Powell]

John,
Thank you for the guidance, the Finder adjustment seems to make it not crash, but it will not save any user information that I add or make it through the acquiring lock process. In the meantime, I will just use ofx.py. 

Regards,
Andre Powell

You'll find 4 files in the folder. Rename the two that start with qt3 to something else (I used qt03, so I have qt03-wizard and qt03_wizard.xml.) Then rename the two that start with qt4 so that they start with qt3 (e.g., qt4-wizard becomes qt3-wizard). Try again.
