Also, was your CD product from an Advantage membership (annual subscription), or was it an order off of the TurboTax website or elsewhere? If you are an Advantage member, there should be a complimentary download version in your Advantage account, and you could try installing from the downloaded installation file. If you are an Advantage member, we can tell you how to find it.
Thanks, got it installed. Must have been the anti-virus. Never had a problem with that in the past.
