Solutions

On the machine that's running the installation:
  1. Check your internet connection. If you're on a wireless network (Wi-Fi), move to an ethernet connection. We can't support Wi-Fi because the connection can be unstable.
  2. Create the required antivirus exceptions for UltraTax CS. Without these exceptions, you're likely to have problems updating your software throughout the year. You can also lose client data.
If your internet connection is stable and you have antivirus exceptions created on the computer running the installation, try reinstalling UltraTax CS:
  1. Go to
    X:\WinCSI\
    , where X represents the drive where the application is installed.
  2. Right-click the
    UTYY
     folder, where YY represents the last 2 digits of the year version of UltraTax CS.
  3. Select

  4. Add

     to the end of the folder name.
  5. Run the installation again.
