Error code 2894

Can not get an answer to my question.  Therefore, I can not load my CD.  Turbotax is of no help.  It does not know what to do with this problem.  There is no one at Turbotax Help.

That is a Microsoft Windows Installer error code.  See this Microsoft website for assistance - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/im-getting-window-installer-error-2894-when-i-try/d4e74e58-62f4-45ca-ba54-7e21b27254b8

Hi, I ran into the same problem. I found the solution at  Winhelponline .com   When you get to the page enter your error 2894 query and follow the instructions on the page.  You may have to right click on command prompt to open in administrator mode.  Anyway once you are ready to enter the code to fix the problem it will be easier to copy from winhelp, then to paste into command prompt left click on the appropriate line then just right click to paste.  The command will paste and run and then just repeat for the rest the commands and when you are done just rerun your intuit software.
