  • Error 1606: Could not access network location % APPDATA%\.

    I am trying to install a game for Windows: Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection (which is Zoo Tycoon 2 + 4 expansion packs), on a Vista Home SP2 machine.  When you install disc 1, I almost immediately get the error above,Error 1606: could not access network location % APPDATA%\. I looked at the error on this forum, who led me to the installation page for the installation package located manual download page offline at the: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/error_installshield.xml. When I tried to install the offline installation package, I got the same error, 1606.  I don't know what to do next?  This game comes without a product key, this support won't even take my call.  Thank you-

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    1. click on start, run, typeregedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

    2. look for the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    886549 KBhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point tonew, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, clickchange, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then clickOK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  • Error message 1606 could not access network location%AppData%\

    Whenever I try to play a game of cards on yahoo or pogo that he told me that I have to update my java. so I uninstalled the version I had. went on java.com and tried to redownload it. It goes through the process then says Error 1606 could not access network location%appdata%\. I checked the registry thing and everything fits to what he says, he should be. All the other things I could try. This is getting very frustrating. I even restored my computer to an earlier date, hoping it would help. but it does not. I even tried using another browser. I had internet Explorer 7. then it installed automatically internet explorer 9, when he came out. I thought that maybe that was the problem. so I downloaded google chrome. but it does the same thing. I have Windows vista. Please help, thanks, jen

  • could not access network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    Runing Vista - Cannot install iTunes.  Get error - could not access network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe
    I see APPDATA is in the temp folder - how to fix this?

    I have seen this error a lot with iTunes. Let's start by checking your system files.

    Go to start / programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow (note the space - it is important) and to enter and leave running.  It will scan some of your system files and fix them if possible (let us know if it finds errors, it cannot repair).  If it runs successfully, try the installation again.

    In addition, you must be logged on as administrator to install the program - some programs require that (but I'm not sure that in this case then log in as administrator just to be sure, this isn't the issue).

    Let us know if it works or if it does not work (and we can try another option).

    Good luck and hope this helps.
