I've been using TurboTax for years.

For the first time, I'm having a problem loading it on my Vista machine.
I right click on setup as administrator and get an error.

This loaded easily on my 7 box.

Both machines have MalwareByte and Symantic running.

The only difference would be the Operating Systems.

Can I copy the files from my 7 box to my Vista box and will they work?

Thanks,

Try this first:
CRC Error on Windows Vista - TurboTax® Software Support

Is that the error you are getting?

That's not the error I'm getting.

What I'm seeing is that TurboTax 2011 Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close.

_______
Thanks for the heads up, though.
I seem to be having this problem: http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/i.../SLN12216.html

I'll check it out tomorrow after work.

Click yes to notify

When you click yes get the "more info" part and let me know what the error code is.


Then what you may try doing is uninstalling the program.
Restart
Run a cleaner.
Clean the temp files etc & registry.
(google CCleaner)
Try re-installing it.


Still doesn't work? Try:

A system restore of your vista. After getting all the updates and running a virus full scan, try installing again.


I will check back.

Browse the CD manually to the folder containing Tubotax and run the installer in there. If it says you need to install .net 4.0, that's your issue. If you can get that installed, TT should install OK. I'm working on and ancient XP box with that issue. Unfortunately .net 4.0 won't install.

Download: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

Do you meet the system requirements for that?

LOL

Try downloading a tool called speccy...it will give you the hardware info so you can see easily if that meets the needs.

I remember years ago I had to manually uninstall something to get something new to install and it was under this subject. This was a couple years ago so I can't remember exact details but I had to go and find a patch to make it work. So annoying.

I would do a clean up as I already posted and see what your machine is at with speccy. It could just be a windows installer issue that needs repaired or "patched".
