2. Depending on firewall(s) used you may get messages such as it may harm your computer or other rejection messages. You must try to use options given such as clicking buttons called actions, more, etc and select the one that allows you to proceed with the installation
3. Your best option is to use the exclusion list of your Firewall which tells your Firewall to trust the following programs and folders the way you do:

Icons will be automatically generated via the Set up process described above. You can find the icons by clicking the Start button then All Programs, then by locating the VisualTax folder. The executable programs (after installation) have names in the pattern of T12007.EXE, T22008.EXE, TF2007.EXE, and T42007.EXE and they will be located in the default folders of C:\T1-2007, C:\T2-2008, C:\TF-2007, C:\T4-2007, C:\FP-2008 respectively.
Please note that there is no icon created with the installation of the common components.
Click on the icon such as T12007 and the program will load. The first time it will ask you for an 'Authorization Key'. Enter the key you received via EMail.
To find the icon created, click on Start, then Click on Programs then click on VisualTax. You can copy the icon to your desktop if that is what you prefer (drag it with your mouse).
If you have prior years programs in an old machine and you are installing on a new machine:
It would be faster if you just copy the full program folder from your old machine to the new machine, using a flash drive or your network. For example to install the T1-2006: Copy folder C:\T1-2006 from the old machine to the new machine. This brings over the configuration items and also the data, provided the data folder was a subfolder of the program folder i.e. C:\T1-2006\data. However you must install the ComComp.exe (common Components) from this page. See above.
CREATING AN ICON: In addition you should create the Icon for launching the program: Right click on the desktop and select New-> Shortcut and enter for example C:\T1-2006\t12006.exe
If you want to copy the icon from your desktop to the start -> All Programs -VisualTax do the following:
a. Right click on the desktop icon and click Edit -> Copy
b. Click on Start -> All programs and scroll until you see VisualTax. Then right click VisualTax and click Edit->Paste
The alternative way is to click the programs below and do a full installation and configuration.
