2016 Home and Business install, error 1719 - Win 10? All previous suggestions to resolve, including scannow, manual win install start, reboot, downloaded file as well as CD, have all failed to install.
Figure you are working on a solution. Would like to receive notification when resolved.
Alright @dcortese, I have some more steps we can try! In looking through other experiences and stuff on the net regarding the error 1719, I found some instances where the Windows Automatic Update was not allowed or done recently. Updating the PC then allowed the programs to be installed successfully (this was for various programs not including TurboTax). If you can, I suggest following the steps below.
Update Windows, even if you've seen a Windows Update recently:

This is a long shot, but have you tried going into msconfig and making sure Normal Startup is selected?

Thank you @dcortese I'll use the screenshots and see what we can come up with for your experience. I'll respond back by the end of today, hopefully with a fix or some extra troubleshooting.

This is a public user discussion forum, and TT Benny may not be online today. TT Support is closed on weekends after tax season.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for a solution on the error for a Win 10 installation - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3206405-error-1719-windows-installer-service-could-not-be-accessed
If the solution does not work for your install then you will need to contact TurboTax support and speak directly with a support agent for this error.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for a contact link and hours of operation - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number
To contact TurboTax customer service/support use their contact website during business hours.
Submit your question/problem during business hours and then use the option for Call (a phone number will be provided for Call) to speak directly with a TurboTax agent -
https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
Note: The Call option will not be available when TurboTax Support is closed.
The answer did not address the question, thus was not helpful. I have attempted all recommended actions including contacting the call center. All actions have been unsuccessful.
After 30+ years, will I have to return to pencil and paper?
The problem has to be local and the support center should have been able to assist you.
I installed the 2016 program from a Download on a Win 10 PC with absolutely no issues whatsoever.
There have been some users where the Compatibility Mode was sent to XP when it should not have been set at all. Do not know if that would affect your situation.
While I appreciate your success, my experience is different and is evident on both downloaded and CD versions. And while I can understand it may be a local problem, the issue is permissions. So, as this is a TT product that is requesting permission, let me know what it wants. The program properties is set as run as admin, right click run as admin, still no love.
Given that all the links for assistance reference 2015 TT or Quicken, I wonder if Intuit recognizes this is a different issue instead of recycling old info.
Without a clear path to understand and resolve the program demands and without some assistance that is directed to the solution, I will need to return/refund the software. Maybe after the new year, Intuit will figure out the program demands and resolve or advise corrective action.
Until then I look forward to any new information that might work.
Hi dcortese,
The error code 1719 is a Windows error code. Doing a google search, we can find it affects Windows 7 and 8 machines, but reports on the internet seem to hint at it affecting Windows 10 users as well.
There are many solutions to the Windows error provided by third party companies, there are even some youtube videos that provide help. In researching this, it seems more to deal with the installer itself rather than permissions.
I recommend searching for "Error 1719" on Google to review the available information and tips, I can't provide third party links on the post.
I hope this helps.

The code1719 may not be a laser at the problem. I'm not sure I'm the one to read the DISM log, but it has some interesting fails or errors by the calling program. Not sure on which side however.
I've a screen shot of the TT fail message that has stack info calling out the Intuit.Installers.Setup.MsiHelper.WaitFor... & ...MsiHelper.InstallMSIPackage( .... Also a DISM session log for the failed attempts - actually several in sequence.
If these would be of use to the tech side, let me know how to upload.
Finally, sessions usually never get past the Preparing to Install dialog.
Been with TT for a long time, 3.5"backups from 80's so not so worried as yet. But without TT, it might be back to pencil/paper. Thanks.
I totally understand @dcortese ,
And I haven't seen the numbers 3.5 in a bit lol, we definitely care and want to see it resolved. If you have some screen shots, adding them as an answer will allow you to share them. I can forward them to our support teams to see if they can tie it to anything.
In regards to getting past this, I did see a youtube video for the error 1719 and it had three ways to help fix it. I would check it out and see if it helps, the uploader is a middle eastern fellow with some stylish glasses. Might be worth a try, if I see this experience again on this forum I'll tie the two together to see if we can narrow it down further.
TTBenny
Will review the video, but have tried all other suggestions. Also, it's interesting that all these suggestions even as late as Nov 2016 show Win8 examples. As an aside, finding this page is a labyrinthine endeavor, hopefully the url is persistent.
TTBenny
Success!
Being a scared user, Autoupdate is never enabled. ;>). To follow through, went to update, system was up to date. Rebooted , let it settle and rebooted again. I don't reboot often so there could have been a Defender update that wasn't exchanged - (it looks as if there is a good amount of data exchanged with the system at startup).
Anyway, pencil and paper averted. Thank you. Hopefully, this exercise will help others as well.
Best. Denis
TTBenny, you may have also exposed a flaw in the Wiin10 MSI process. I know I will remember the lesson. Thanks again.
Awesome news to hear!
I'm glad it worked, and I appreciate you sticking with us through the troubleshooting. To be honest, I don't do auto updates either so it may be a common experience for us Windows users (insert laugh out loud here).
Hope you have a happy filing season. If you have any questions feel free to use the forum anytime, we're happy to help!
