Hello,

an addendum regarding the installer media...

The TurboTax 2011 ISO seems to have been authored with a Mac (DiscRecording
4.0.7d1) - it's a hybrid ISO9660/JOLIET/HFS filesystem with optional Rock Ridge
attributes.

Mounting it using standard "-t iso9660 -o loop,ro ... " will lead to subtle
installer failure later.

"netfx40testapplicatione.config" -> breaks .NET 4.0 test!

You have to mount it using "norock":

--- snip ---
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro,norock foo.iso /mnt/bar

The installer executes "Netfx40TestApplication.exe" to verify if .NET 4.0
install is usable.
The app needs "Netfx40TestApplication.exe.config" to know which .NET runtime to
select/run on:

--- snip ---
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
        <requiredRuntime version="v4.0.30319"  />
    </startup>
</configuration>
--- snip ---
