• Error 1606 during installation of java and adobe reader. Help?

  Hello, the part of this problem that I found more fustrating has been that I can't install java on my computer. I receive the Error 1606 %AppData% or something related to this.

  I tried...

  online and offline java download

  repair Windows for some registry files

  restarting my computer

  uninstall all verisons them of java

  try to install on internet explore not add on the verison

  research on different forums for help

  using command prompt to clear cache (did not work anyway)

  clean the disc

  and still nothing.

  other problems with the computer...

  Slow speed

  red x boxes appearing in the scene of most of the images and links (probably due to the absence of java)

  also, error appeared when I tried to do an update of the adobe reader

  red x boxes appearing in the scene of most of the images and links (probably due to the absence of java)

  I do not install Java on my computer and I don't see that; so I think that it is not related.

  As well as http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549 , see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2258121

  Make sure that the registry entries are exactly as stated in the statutes or that there is a good reason for them being different from the default. for example, if you have moved any of your folders to different locations.

  Try to create a new administrator account and see if the problem persists with this account.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/create-a-user-account

  If you succeed with another administrator account, your user profile may be damaged. This procedure allows to solve this

  Note that you must create a third-party administrator account to make the copy. No other two accounts can be used during the operation.

  Hi Rodney cobbs,

  This problem may occur if there is an incorrect setting in one of the following registry subkeys:

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

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
   
  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see the link below.

  If the step above does not resolve the issue, I would say that you install the Windows install cleanup, then run the cleanup utility from the start menu and then remove the entries for the software, and then restart the computer for the changes to take effect and now try to reinstall the software and check.

• When trying to download or update msi programs and it's got to the part of the installation, I get the Error 1606 could not access network location % APPDATA%\. This only happens with programs of msi.

  This only happens with programs of msi.  I used the fixit for me solution and it does not solve my problem and I'm afraid to mess with the registry.  What can I do now?  I am running Vista Home Premium.  I don't know exactly what details you want.  Just ask and I'll try to provide answers.

  Sorry to take so long to get back to you - but I have tried different things to try to solve my problem.

  I was able to upgrade Silverlight without problem.  But failed to update Adobe Reader or Java.

  I ran the Microsoft fixit to resolve the Error 1606.  These are the 50356 fixit.   Microsoft help page says:

  "This problem can occur if there is an incorrect setting in one of the following registry subkeys:"

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"

  It did not work.  I went to the support page that you recommended and ran the fixit there - and who did not.

  Then I noticed that this fixit 50356 mentions 'current user' - so I tried to change my standard account to an administrator account.  It basically gave me two administrator accounts.  (I already had a separate administrator account and was simply put the password so that it will prompt to update Java and Adobe.)   Then I tried to update Adobe Reader by using the new administrator (officially a standard account) and had no problem!  Then, of course, the problem has been to my administrator account.

  I'm guessing that the Microsoft fixit didn't work is because I was on the internet using my standard account, not my administrator account.  So, it 'fixed' my standard account, that does not need fixing.  I can't connect to the internet using my administrator account, unless it is necessary.

  It would be useful that the Microsoft help page has explained that the problem is probably in the administrator user account that is used to download and upgrade programs, that the fixit solution that they recommended would fix the problems only on that account, and I had to log on that account, connect to the internet and then running the fixit.  But it doesn't work.  It just says: If you get the Error 1606, run this fixit.

  I changed my new manager at standard and I'll connect to my normal administrator account and run the fixit from here.  If this is the problem with this account, I will be setting up a new administrator user account and delete it.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  People like me who do not know much about computers need people like you to help us!

  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%\.

  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.
