1606 error

Hello...
I am experiencing installation problems with my ipod. I managed to run the ipodsetup.exe...and now i am trying to install itunes 6.0 but it doesn't do anything but give me a "1606: cannot locate network bin". i already did a windows update on my pc. i've also ran the windows installer cleanup and removed quicktime, then ran the itunes setup again...but still nothing...i tried turning off my antivirus software and running the setup again, but no luck...i don't know what else to do....
anyone out there who can help me? please? i have the 20gb ipod with clickwheel and i'm running windows xp
thanks in advance!

hi!
for the first few steps, i didn't change anything because i don't think anything is wrong with the entries ("drive"-wise)..for the last bit, it says:
# In the right pane of the Registry Editor window, double-click Common Administrative Tools.
# In the Value data box of the Edit String dialog box that appears, type the following line, and then click OK:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
but i don't see the "administrative tools" folder....???

Itunes, 1606 error;

Hi. My thinking, feeling is that, maybe, there's something up, with/in - C:\Documents and Settings, C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService or C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService; I mean there's the All users and Compaq Owner, but per Sun Java's recent error: 2753 - regutils.dll, iTune's error: 1606 - cannot locate local network location, and CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite - error 9035 unable to store license key (which I may add is good for me - until 2010), thus, can not complete install. I already ran Windows Install cleanup, and uh, no, this has nothing to do with Norton as I don't have any fully installed Norton program on my pc/computer. Can any of you kindly look over/review the following "Belarc" computer profile, and (maybe) determine a possible course of action I may take, as I just want to be able to
a) Re-install iTunes/Quicktime/Bonjour/Apple updater, (as I want to get back to listening to iTunes radio's jazz section - The Grooveyard, my sole favorite).
b) installer Sun Java's 6.13 and 6.14 version (update's), which I need clearly for more reason's than one.
c) and get CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite reinstalled back on my pc/computer (which I can do), via email link to download, as right now I'm in risk, as to not having any 'protection', and Time Warner Cable (my net service is going to refer me to CA anyway).

ADOBE READER 8.1 WILL NOT WORK-KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE 1606: COULD NOT ACCESS NETWORK LOCATION %APPDATA%

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.

I am having problems deleting 9.0 error message 1606 comes up

I am having problems uninstalling 9.0 to download 9.1. Can not read items. Error message 1606

I was following the directions from the adobe rep on the phone by going through the control panel. When I was trying to download the new 9.1 I got to the 98.9 % and would not go further. That is when I got the 1606 error message. Can this be fixed? The rep on the phone said yes then the phone went dead. Please help. Am frustrated. Gidget Louise

1606 problem

I tried to update Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.2 several times in several acco(for microsoft vista SP2). I got everytime the 1606 error after 80% of installation progress. The error message was (in German):
Adobe Reader-Installationsfehler "Zugriff auf die Netzwerkadresse : war nicht möglich."
(Could not access network localization)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
but again no sucess.
Has anyone an idea?
Thank a lot!

However in case that you are working with software that is not from Microsoft, you should:
1. Read carefully install and user guide for your game.
2. If the problem still persists, then address your problem to vendor support and/or support forum.
Most probably there are not opened proper ports. If you were IT geek, then you will use network monitor to diagnose your problem.

Error while uninstalling Premiere Elements 4, anyone got a manual procedure?

Hi and thanks for helping!
I've got a Win-XP/Pro-SP3 system.
I've had the Premiere Elements 4 + Photoshop Elements 6 bundle installed for quite some time and upgraded to the bundle with v7 of both apps last year. Apparently, while installing the 7s, it did not uninstall the prior versions. To reclaim some disk space, I'm trying to uninstall the older versions.
The uninstaller for Premiere Elements 4, (run from the add/remove programs tool on the control panel or directly from the distribution media), pops an Error 1606: Cannot access network location :. and quits. I've tried the faith healing steps from both the Adobe Knowledgebase as well as the referenced articles from the Microsoft Knowledgebase (sort of completely uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office since I really don't think that's the issue). No joy.
The uninstaller for Photoshop Elements 6 runs to completion uninstalling that program. The installers for both version 7s of the apps run (although I abort them before they actually start changing files). The Acrobat Standard installer runs fine. It's just the Premiere Elements 4 installer that is quitting.
I have a suspicion that someplace along the line, a registry scan process removed some key that it thought was safe but is crucial to getting the uninstaller to run.
I can certainly delete the appropriate program files\adobe subfolder, but there are also bits and pieces over in the Common folders plus in the docs&settings appdata folders. And there are lots of registry keys.
I read the "delete the folder and run a registry cleaner" suggestion which is certainly a move of last resort. But does anyone have a manual uninstall that identifies all the folders, random files, and keys that should be deleted to remove Premiere Elements 4 without impacting any of the other AdobeApps?
Thanks again for reading and thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Hunt,
Excellent suggestions regarding going to the backups to find the missing key. It didn't work, but it was still a great suggestion. Since I couldn't get the (un)installer to run past the point of checking space requirements before the 1606 error, I couldn't run the repair cycle. I contemplated the system restore carefully, but the restore point would probably have been well over a year ago. Good thought on the after market uninstallers but I agree that unless they were around to watch the 'goes-in', there's no telling what they'll to on the 'goes-out'. Given the crap-shoot of trying to pick a reputable after market uninstaller to blindly remove APE4 without hosing anything else, I opted to take fate into my own hands...
So, I spooled a copy of the drive off to the back-up unit, flushed the folders, swept about 700 keys from the registry [700!!], and will keep fingers crossed for a little while. Cursory checks on the other Adobe apps appear stable but we'll see what happens when I actually try to do a project.
In hindsight, apart from possibly being able to check the registry for each and every file before removal and compiling some list of all the things it was going to do for human review, the basic process a blind uninstaller would do use is pretty much what I did. And since most of those tool are designed for unskilled operators, I probably wouldn't have found one that was quite so dilligent in its reporting and actions anyway.
Thanks for the guidance -- you at least confirmed that the path I was planning through the wilderness was reasonable. I'd pour you a glass of one of our fine NY State wines right here, but it would just gum up the keyboard.
Best regards,
joe
