Receive the error code: 1606 when trying to install the program

I received an Error 1606 times before and went through the process of editing the registry, and it solved the problem I had.  However, now when I try to install the 2008 edition of turbo tax I get a different error message 1606.  But when I go into the registry, all entries are fine, they harmonize perfectly with the entries in the table provided by Microsoft.

How can I solve this problem, if solutions are not even necessary?

It's the exact error message I receive:

ApplicationController: MSI install Exception occurred: Microsoft Installer error: 1606, with error code: 1606

Hi Kisuru,

1 - is the first time that you install Turbo tax on the computer?
2 are you able to install other programs on the computer?

By searching on the site of TurboTax, I found a solution for the error message that you have already tried as you mentioned.

Error 1606: Could not access network location

I suggest that you download and install the utility windows install cleanup then start the cleaning utility in the start menu and then to delete 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.
