It will save people time to just ask for a Mac copy if they have a Mac system
My long story short also omitted the part that I have a spare laptop that has a fresh Windows system installed with no other software installed.
I installed the latest TT and it still getting the same update problem yesterday.
People could try uninstall and re-intall thing but my advice is
Please print out a physical copy so you can mail in IF you don't get thing resolve by tomorrow and went into the same update hell where you can't even open the file. Good Luck.
P.S: my efile already got accepted 1 hour after I sent it out on Mac
