I talked to Technical Support, and the solution is to right click on the TurboTax icon on the Desktop, or wherever you launch the program from, and select "Run as Administrator"

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: D:\Config.Msi

Is the error occurring during the transfer of information from your federal return to your state return, or when the program tries to update the state?

What is the exact error message you are receiving?
