  • 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!

    On my DesignJet 5500, I rswitched the ink tubes, printheads and printhead cleaners dyeing anti-UV, 81 to 83.

    I got an error message saying that the black print head needed to be replaced so I bought another head black printing and after that, I was able to print a test page that shows all the colors (image quality page?).

    Magenta not give not any code of error before, but now I get an error message saying that the printhead magenta must be replaced, even if magenta print well on the printed test page.

    The printer give you a warning when the health of the print head is low, but it will continue to print.

    If the problem has been solved after all print head replacement can be that a print head cause others to fail
