  • Error 1606.Could access network location:

    Hello! I am an employee of the hospital. Currently, I am trying to install a provider software on a machine that I have admin rights and get a "Error 1606.Could access network location:.." I've read about this error in the installation/uninstallation of microsoft product, could this work to outside vendor and software?

    Is there something in the installation that needs to access something on your network? The best would be to contact the software vendor and ask them. I don't think that this would be linked to a windows problem.

    I hope this helps.

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

  • Error 1606 could access the network location

    Zac,
    I have exactly the same problem and it appears so when I tried to install the student version of Microsoft Office and update Java and updated vesion of Adobe.  I found the Article ID: 886549 on the Microsoft Support site, but it was confusing.  It tells you that you must change the registry.  I can do it, but the first statement shown on the print are actually for Windows XP and NOT Vista.  You must go to the second page and find the Vista fix.  I followed the instructions for Visat and then you get to a second registry key that needs to change.  This time there is only a set of instructions and comparing to my values of Vista it show that my system was COMPLETELY different from those I had to enter.  My concern is that the second key values were also means ofr XP and not vista.  Can you help me?

    I made the following changes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Version Shell thank you, Hangels777

    Hello Hangels777,

    Thank you for posting.  I would say that you haven't try any change of registry which is meant for XP.  This error is due to Java and probably the Adobe update.  I recommend you to manually check for the latest versions of Java and flash player.  You may need to uninstall and reinstall to the problem must be resolved.

    Please, try the following steps and let me know if this helps you. Zack

  • Try to update Java, Adobe Reader and now RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager, Error 1606 could not access network location.

    I got this error for a few months. Initially, I came across it trying to update Java, Adobe Reader and now RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager.
