Question

I encountered error code 2318 when attempting to install turbotax 2017 - how do I fix it?  I have the latest version of Windows 10 installed yesterday.

Answer 1

If you're using Windows 10, try this solution:

Right Click your taskbar and select “Task manager” 

Look for “Intuit update service” in the process tab and end process.

Look for "MSIexec.exe" in the Details tab and end process.

Try to install Turbotax 2016 again.

Run the Windows System File Checker, then try updating again.

Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

Re-register the Windows Installer: Click Start > Run > type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER > click OK (it'll look like nothing happened). Then do the same thing except this time type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER. Now try updating again.

Start the Windows Installer Service:

Click Start > type Services.msc in the search box > press the Enter key.

Scroll down and double-click Windows Installer.

Select Manual as the Startup type.

Click Start, then OK.

Try updating again.
