Trying To Lodge Tax Return

[mattymagoo22]

Hi guys trying to install e-tax 2010 and it won't work. Anyone else having troubles? It lets me download the file, but windows installer says ' The installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.' every time I try to open it.

I've tried turning off my firewall and it's still not working. I'm running windows 7 if that makes any difference to the computer genius' out there.

Cheers Matt.

I am going to assume you have a pretty new PC. Running 64 bit Win 7, and the installer isn't designed for Win7, yet alon 64 bit...

clear you internet temp files and try download it again

Matt, I ran it successfully on Win7 x64; lodged it 10am on 1st July

If you're still having troubles, as suggested, clear cache, redownload. Or: download on another computer; transfer installer to your machine and give that a try.

Failing that, perhaps UAC is being a bitch, even though it's a lot nicer than Vista's UAC.

yeh im also win7 x64 no issues at all.. i even used etax2009 with this os without a problem.

its not a problem with the software just your pc and the installer.

Meh, I was just taking a stab at it, cause someone said Vista was fine, Win7 wasn't. Although Vista also has an X64 version...

I don't bother with doing my own tax, so I really don't know alot on that program...

one day they might actually catch up with the rest of the world and make a Mac version

Oh hang on they're public servants - they would be rushed off their feet and way too busy to have time to do that!

Hey guys and gals, got it sorted this morning, i'm a gumby I just needed to right click instead of left click. I'm sure I did it that way the first time but obviously not. The file I needed was 6.5 meg the one i tried to open was only 2.5, who would have thought, such a small mistake huh.

Cheers for all the suggestions.

Materials used for being able to complete a tax return - deductible. Uni tax textbooks FTW.

Ahh, seems the file's gotten killed halfway through the download; good stuff that you got the full thing now.
