The below video shows how to run a Setup Program installation for CCH ProSystem fx Tax.

A Setup Program installation reinstalls the .EXE and .DLL files for CCH ProSystem fx Tax for the year you are running it for. The only time you should need to run it is if you have been directed to do so by a knowledge base article or a Support representative.

Important: If running Setup Program installation for a prior year, you must run another Setup Program installation using the most current year's version after it completes.

1. You need the latest version of the installation image for CCH ProSystem fx Tax to run a Setup Program installation. If you already have the latest installation files downloaded and extracted, skip to step 3.
