RSSIf you tried to install H&R Block 2011 (formerly TaxCut) on your windows machine you may have been greeted by a useless error message that says the install failed.
To get around this problem, in windows explorer, click on the D: (or wherever your CD/DVD is) and then right click on the .exe file and select “Run as administrator”
This solution was next to impossible to find on the Google, so I am hoping this helps someone!
Aaargh! The most annoying feature addition to Windows starting from I guess Vista is the whole “Run as Administrator” crud. I remember when a user could be an Administrator and have all the rights of an admin. Now there’s a cloudy area where your user is an admin but there’s still an option to run apps as an admin. Sigh.
Ugh. Thanks for sharing, I had the same issue. Wish they had a more helpful error message!
Thanks! This helped me out. Not a very smart message on H&R Block’s part.
