Cannot open pfd files error 1606 could not access network location %APPDATA%/
Error 1606 could not access network location %APPDATA%/
I have adobe reader 8.1.3 installed and cannot uninstall it as i get the same error message as when i try to open files or download the new version. When I type %appdata% into run nothing comes up. I have been through lots of other threads and cannot find a solution so ive made my own please help!
You can download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/ - run the downloaded installer, then start the
program from Start | Programs | Windows Install Clean Up. Select Adobe Reader, then click 'Remove'.
N.B. I've heard that this program can cause problems if Office 2007 is installed; don't use it if you have Office 2007!
The above tool helps you to uninstall Adobe Reader, but it will not fix the basic problem with the corrupt %APPDATA% environment variable. You can try to fix it with http://fixitcenter.support.microsoft.com/
P.S. this software is still beta; I strongly recommend to make a System Restore Point before proceeding. Let us know if you need any help with this (and please state your Windows version if you do).

When trying to install Itunes 10.2 I get an error message "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." How can I fix this?
With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:
You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove a Microsoft program -
QT install error 1606: Could not access network location 1\lib\ext\
This all began when trying to update to latest version of iTunes 9.0.3. I first tried running the update via iTunes, and saw this message. Next, I downloaded the update file (iTunes + QT) and ran from my desktop as admin. Still the same result.
I have removed both QT and iTunes from my computer. I have deleted the temp folder (C:\users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp), restarted computer. Ran QT installer only and still same message.
I did download the Windows Install Cleanup utility, but couldn't use it directly on QT or iTunes as they were already deleted. I did use it to remove the other Apple programs resident on the computer.
Here's the result in the file MSIe1559.LOG:

Returning: 1603Excellent news!
What's happening with this one ... as far as I can work out, the \lib\ext\ being mentioned in the error message refers to Java program directories. The QuickTime installer tries to put a file into those locations ... for example, on my Lenovo, the file in question is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
So, if there's some sort of issue with Java on the PC, sometimes the install of that file doesn't go through, and we get the network location error messages. Whatever the precise nature of the problem with the Java location is, updating or installing Java seems to help get people past it. -

Have tried to uninstall the Adobe Program but it will not let me. I keep getting the 1606 error message. I have went to the Microsoft Help site and it says that the registry may need to be modified. They also advised you that if you do not modify it correctly you may have very serious problems.
Please see this Microsoft KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/
Some registry entry may have been corrupted, and it needs to be fixed. If you don't know how to edit the registry, do you have somebody who is confident enough to edit the Windows registry?
Anyway, for now I just want you to check something in the registry - don't modify anything yet!
Click Start | Run | type regedit [Enter]
Once the Registry Editor is open, drill down to the following subkey
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In here you should see multiple entries, one being AppData - what is the data value on the right side? It should be %USERPROFILE%\Application Data.
Please close the registry editor now, and report back what you found. -
Exit Code 7 for cs5 "Error 1606.Could not access network location"
To resolve this issue yourself, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type Regedit.exe, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In the right pane, verify that the values are the same as the values in the following table. If each value matches the table, go to step 7.

ITunes unable to install? - Could not access network location %APPDATA%/.
Okay, I received a never used iPod Nano
(Model MC034LL ,Version 1.0. 2 PC, it looks like this http://www.iphonemag.ch/wp-content/uploa…
for Christmas this year, however; I'm having some trouble installing iTunes.
I have already downloaded iTunes, but installing seems to be the problem.
The 'iTunesSetup' icon appears on my desktop and I double-clicked it to begin the installing process.
When I do so, it says
"Gathering required information... Status: Computing Space Requirements"
after a few seconds it says, "Could not access network location %APPDATA%/."
As soon as I click 'retry' it says the same thing.
If I press cancel, the same message pops up and then it says,
"iTunes Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Your system has not been modified To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click exit to finish the installer"
I tried the help page for iTunes, but noting seemed helpful.

Install Problem: "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."
I get "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." when trying to install or uninstall itunes. Has anyone seen this. I've tried several of the general troubleshooting topics.
Similar problem..."Could not access network location ." went through all the microsoft repairs for a 1606 error. No resolve. My itunes used to work perfectly then when I went through an itunes initiated update, then my itunes would bring up the error whenever I tried to update. I uninstalled itunes then tried to reinstall without any success. Still get the error. And now I dont have itunes. Has anyone figured this out yet or do I need to abandon and go to droid?
