Yeah nothing else broke when I did this. And I mistype initially and I have updated my post it's visual c run time. What I found is that my laptop being a newer laptop didn't have the older run times on it. And Windows update doesn't install those. And apparently TurboTax didn't include them in the distribution of this 2024 version. At the time I was having trouble it was working fine on my desktop which was a little older. So good luck with it.
And from what I recall it was a reputable download location not a questionable one that might have been full of viruses.
