Error Code 106

Question

After I had a computer crash awhile back I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all my software.  Photoshop 7.0 is the only software I couldn't get to re-install.  I keep keeping the following message after about 1% of my install it stops, and i get a message saying:
ComponentMoveData had the following error;
Media Name: data
Component: Required
File Group: App_Shared
File: ACE.dll
Error Number: -106 (refer to the online help)
What's going on?  I have search Google for any possible cause and it seems that many others have had the same problem.  I have tried most all of the suggestions including:
     cleaning the disk and running a clean registry program.  Any other ideas?

Hi,
I am sorry that you are experiencing that error code wehn installing Photoshop 6.0.  One thing you might do is check your windows update section. I found out in this discussion board: http://www.fixya.com/support/t187175-installing_error_code_106 that some users were also experiencing the error code 106 when installing Adobe Photoshop.
Make sure to see if you have successfully installed the .net update from windows (check the "solution section in that page as they provide you with a link"). Another issue I was thinking you may have(so does the link I provided) is that your hard drive may not be working right(check for bad sectors) as it cannot succesfully copy all the files to your OS.
Let me know if the link helped you.
