  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 steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.

  WARNING: This method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you change the

• Error 1606: Could not access network location % APPDATA%\.

  I am trying to install a game for Windows: Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection (which is Zoo Tycoon 2 + 4 expansion packs), on a Vista Home SP2 machine.  When you install disc 1, I almost immediately get the error above,Error 1606: could not access network location % APPDATA%\. I looked at the error on this forum, who led me to the installation page for the installation package located manual download page offline at the: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/error_installshield.xml. When I tried to install the offline installation package, I got the same error, 1606.  I don't know what to do next?  This game comes without a product key, this support won't even take my call.  Thank you-

  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.

  Hi nanditaberi,

  Since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

  This problem may be caused by this security software on the computer, uninstall them might solve the problem.

  Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

  Important:

  O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

  Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

  O re - install the security software on the computer.
