The repair link has nothing that fixes the problem I have.
As for file location, why should it matter where the data file is as long as you enter the correct location and that location is accessible on your system?
Some people who actively read and write to a data file on a thumb drive while working in TurboTax have reported problems before. Many more people may not have a problem with it, but those folks with no problems are not going to post in a forum like this. If something works for you, then you are free to go for it. If something doesn't apply to you, then just ignore it. There are many users in this forum and all sorts of possible system configurations, so there is no one size fits all, which is what makes troubleshooting these kinds of problems difficult on a user bulletin board like this. More important than the data file location, however, is to not install the actual program on a removable flash or thumb drive.
