Install and update

Uninstall and reinstall federal and/or state applications in UltraTax CS

If a federal or state application update fails to apply, or if an update continually reappears within CS Connect, it may be necessary to delete and reinstall the federal or state application. To do so, follow these steps.
  1. From within UltraTax CS, select
    Help
    ,
    Repair
    , then the
    Misc
     tab.
  2. Select the
    Clear Updates Directory
     button, then select
    Done
    .
  3. Close UltraTax CS.
  4. Go to
    X:\Wincsi\UTYY
    , where
    X
     represents the drive where UltraTax is installed, and
    YY
     represents the year of the application.
  5. Find and delete the folders and pfw_imanifest files for the federal or state applications causing the update error.
    The naming convention for all applications is
    EEEEPP.*
    , where
    EEEE
     represents the entity,
    P
     represents the application initials, and
    *
     is a series of characters that represents the application version. For example,
    1040US.ext,22,3,8,#0000000n70e9f
     is an UltraTax/1040 folder and
    1065MI.ext,22,3,4,#0000000n6peq2
     is an UltraTax/1065-MI (Michigan) folder.
  6. Open UltraTax CS and download and apply your updates, and if necessary, add a state or city return to a client.
  7. This process may require you to close and re-open UltraTax CS one more time for the updates to apply.
