• Not able to install any updates for my computer Error 1606 could not access network location % APPDATA%\. How can I fix it?

  I can't install any updates for my computer at all, even the window updates is one of the many error messages I receive, Error 1606 could access the location %APPDATA%\ network. How can I fix it?

  Hello

  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.

  WARNING:

  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.

  Step 1:

  a. Click Start, click Run, type ""regedit ' in the Open box, and then click OK. "

  b. find the following registry key:

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

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

  Step 2:

  886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549:

  Open Regedit a. once again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value.

  b. type the value name that you want to restore (AppData), and then press ENTER.

  c. right-click on this value, click modify, type the value in the value data for the value name box and then click OK. 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.

• Windows Installer is not functional and not able to install Windows updates.

  Original title: reinstall Windows Installer on Windows Vista with Service Pack 2.

  How can I replace the installer of Windows on Vista (with SP2) when the redistributable version of the Windows Installer (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8483) website says that none of the versions applies to my system?

  For the moment, I find it on my Windows Installer system anywhere.  It seems to have disappeared without a known cause (I don't try to change anything) in early May.  Since then, no updates of Windows has been installed successfully and try to download a Microsoft program to solve the problem failed because Windows Installer is not in operation.

  It worked well. Help for others:-after you have created the fix.reg file, you may need to rename so that it is recognized as a .reg file. Double-clicking did not work and I had to run "regedit" and import the file. After than that everything has been A1and updates on Microsoft, iTunes and others worked well.

• MSVCR80.dll was not found after installing an update for iTunes

  -5February2014 - yesterday I received an automatic update of iTunes (do not write update number) so I accepted the download automated and then with what I was doing on my PC.  Later in the process, a message said something about unable to download or install or something, so I cancelled the iTunes update, thinking I would look into another time.  This morning when I start my PC, as part of the service, I received a pop-up box that follows:

  "Unable to locate component APSDaemon.exe. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. »

  At this point, that I'm not sure that the application did not start OR should I try to install.  First of all, I restarted the PC, thinking it was just a ghost in the machine, but during and after the reboot issue I had the same error popup box.  Of course, this does not affect the ability to control Outlook, mail, or go on the Internet, but I'm afraid that someday when I need that MSVCR80.dll, I'm having a problem.  Can someone well tell me what I need to be concerned about or do to fix this "missing" file number, which is also be aggravated to the population of iTunes?  Thank you.

• Adobe reader hangs... not able to install or uninstall... Help, please...

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my Adobe 10.1.4 player lately...

  as soon as I open any pdf, it works for a min and then hangs because of which I have to restart my system...

  also I cannot uninstall it as when uninstalling it no longer responds to halfway...

  When I tried to install a new pdf reader, crashes at halfway at this stage of extraction of the files c:\programfiles\foxit\unins003.exe...

  kindly help...

  Not sure that the cleaning tool Acrobat will help as you use Reader (this is not the forum to drive). But you can try it at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html. There may be a similar one for the player, but I don't know. If so, that would give you a chance to try a reinstall. It is a good idea to be logged in as an administrator and have anti-virus off at such a facility.

• He was not able to install service pack 4 (kb2463332). How can I solve this? Thank you

  I use windows xp. I get a yellow icon in my computer, indicating to install an update, but after trying to install it I get a message that the service pack 4 (kb2463332) was not able to install. How can I solve this? Thank you

  That update is SQL server 2005 service pack 4, it is not something that is required in XP and you would probably do anything related to SQL server if you do not need, just so don't install it.

• I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP

  I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9.  Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00.  It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router.  Chess began the same night, May 9.  Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed.  I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.

  Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.

  Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.

  If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall.  All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords.  If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.

  No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.

  Hi James,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description, it looks that you are not able to install Windows XP Media Center.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  Follow these 4 steps to install the KB925766 correctly:

  a. if the 886904 update is installed, you must uninstall the 886904 update before you install the Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Otherwise, the installation of .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 will fail.

  To determine whether the 886904 update is installed, follow these steps:

  i. click on start, run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.

  II. Click to select the show updates check box.
  III. in the list currently installed programs, locate the following item:

  Fix for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904)

  If you see this option, you must remove the hotfix. To remove the patch, click on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904) Hotfix and then click on remove. Then, visit the Windows Update Web sit to download and install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

  b. to install this update, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installed. Windows Update detects whether these packages are installed. Windows Update automatically installs these packages for you.

  (i) follow the link below to download the .net framework 1.1 manually:

  Follow the link below to download and install the KB900325:
