• 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.

• Error 1606 could not access network %APPDATA%\protector.exe

  I recently received this error 1606 and I can't iTunes to update to 9.2 and my iPod touch is ios 4.0 and you need iTunes 9.2 to allow the iPod, someone please help me!

  First of all, try to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2258121 which includes a Mr. Fixit who can solve the problem more easily than other methods.  This article is designed specifically to help the ordinary Dubai faced with this problem.

  If this does not work, then here is the more detailed and more involved; p process for dealing with this problem;

  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.

  Good luck.
