Has anyone found a solution for the Error 1603 issue that won't update forms or let you bypass the update?

This error can occur when the Microsoft .NET Framework Installer can't install and/or update your system. Possible causes include:

• Damaged Windows file and folder permissions
• Damaged Windows Registry key permissions
• Damaged Microsoft .NET Framework installation

Solutions:

• If error 1603 occurs while updating TurboTax, download and install a manual update.
• If error 1603 occurs while installing TurboTax (or in other situations), it may be related to the .NET Framework. See Troubleshooting problems with the Microsoft .NET Framework for more help.

Note: We suggest using Windows Update to ensure that your operating system is up-to-date, as this may resolve error 1603.

I was able to do the R.22.0 update but then when I tried to open the program it said it had to update and then gave me the 1603 error again.

I found a way the patch worked, it makes no sense but I opened my browser in incognito mode.  I clicked on manual patch, It opened a screen that said Turbo Tax updating.  It finish and I got back into Turbo Tax.  I got same message about updating failed but before it gave me an error message I clicked cancel.  Then I was able to get into my Turbo Tax.  I figured the update would show new date taxes are due but it does not.  Still says April 15.  Hope this helps.
