Lacerte 2016 installation error

I am unable to install Lacerte 2016 using either the Web Setup or the CD Image on a new Windows 10 machine.  The installer opens to the "Welcome to Lacerte" page, but clicking "Next" only refreshes this page and I can't move to the next steps.  Anyone else have this issue?  Any suggestions for forcing the install?

Tech support was able to troubleshoot for me.  The solution was to create a new folder in C:\Lacerte named "16tax", then paste the 2016 PREP file in there.  The install worked immediately after that.  Thank you!
