Vista - Error Code: 1606

• I receive the error code 1606

  I cannot fix the error code 1606.  I'm not very computer.

  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.

• Receive the error code: 1606 when trying to install the program, normal solutions do not apply.

  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

  ·        I got s error code 80070005 when:

  Windows Update does is set to automatic update search and downloaded an update of the normal Windows Defender definitions.

  Downloaded, it would not move.  I regularly got these definitions of Defender updates and installed without problem, since a few years - until Monday July 5, for some reason any.  I'm not aware of any change that I made for all programs, because I downloaded and installed my update of definitions last defender about a week earlier.

  I use a single Windows Vista Ultimate Desktop without networking or wireless involved.
