HERE'S THE FIX FROM MICROSOFT:

 

Type command prompt in your windows start menu, right click and run as administrator, and allow it to load

 

Then type these commands below (one line at a time) in the command prompt box that pops up, right after C:\Windows\system32>

 

TAKEOWN /F c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll /a

 

ICACLS c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll /grant administrators:F

 

ICACLS c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll

 

CERTUTIL -hashfile c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll sha256


Run these two commands in addition:

ICACLS c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM":(RX)

 

ICACLS c:\windows\syswow64\riched20.dll /grant "BUILTIN\Users":(RX)

 

...afterwards, type EXIT on the command line.

 

your're welcome!

    Last two ICACLS commands resulted in some error for RX parameter.  But, I was still able to install TurboTax.  Thanks.
