Turbotax for Windows. Installation error.

I'm trying to install Turbotax 2023 on Windows 11. 

 

I am an administrator for my PC. I ran the installation package using "Run as administrator."

 

I receive 2 errors and cannot progress.

 

Errors:

"Error writing to file: C:\Windows\Fonts\wfonts.key. Verify that you have access to that directory."

and

"Error writing to file: C:\Windows\fonts\QT2_B.TTF" 

 

I have access to the folder.

 

I ran the Intuit permissions fix tool.

 

What else can I do to install the product?

I'm not familiar enough with modifying permissions and installing fonts to be able to comment.

You may have to contact Support on Monday, @cannont1 

 

How do I contact TurboTax? (intuit.com)

The problem was a larger issue with the Windows installation.  I had to "reset" Windows back to a clean slate and it works fine now.
