can't seem to find it, might be a retail version?
if so, can't help you finding the app.

but might be able to recover the info.
most money apps use a database format, depending on age of app. it can be several different types.
check the files, for a extension such as .dbf, mdb, cvs, xls.
it is possible to figure out the database format by looking at the extension, finding out which database it used. and findng a conversion app.
dbf was dBase, mdb is Microsoft Jets database (access), csv is a plain txt file in "comma seperated variable", xls is Microsoft Excel.

if you are able to figure that out, convert it, and find a new money manager app and import the data back into it.
