Turbotax Bootstrapper Has Failed — Fastest fix

by admin ~ April 10th, 2011. Filed under: javelin marketing.

I dont know why I do business with Turbotax–they release crap software and then you have to fix it yourself (I called and they had no clue).

Open the control panel, add/remove programs and locate Microsoft .net framework 3.5.1 and remove it.

Wait for complete removal then start up turbotax.

Turbotax will then re-install the software (.net 3.5.1) and run properly

WALA!

    This Solution Worked Perfect, except its Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP 1 that you want to remove from the Add/Remove Programs in the control Panel.

    Then Re-install TurboTax and it will install Its .NET 3.5.

    I checked out here: http://tek-works.com/fixing-turbotax-bootstrapper-setup-failed/
    But it didnt work, I would get an error about RevSrv32.exe
    I also did Aarons .Net Remover tool and reinstalled new Versions of .Net 2.0 and 3.0 with SPs and it didnt work.

    This is the only thing that worked for me.

    Thats Intuit…NOT!
