error 1606

[LaurKev4]

I am trying to download abode reader and before it finishes the download an error 1606 message keeps popping up

[Hortysir]

Me too!! Guess i'll sit here with ya and wait for an answer.

I get the message even when I try to UNinstall to try and re-install

It starts with my Adobe 8 not opening and getting forced to close.

Then it offers me to download version 9.1

then 1606

I'm now getting the same error message with anything I try to install or uninstall

Does it say somthing to this affect?

Error 1606. Could not access network location <Common Administrative Tools>.All users\.

These sort of errors are Windows errors which is why you run into the between any applications it seems to choose to affect.

Are you on a network?

What version of Windows are you using and Service Pack number?

If you are using Vista make sure you are installing/running as an administrator if you don't already, but chances are you know that and just thought "umm...no" in your head when reading that.

I am getting the same error1606, has anyone found a fix?

[Hortysir]

This link will take you to an instruction page on how to edit your registry

to fix the problem.

It's a little tedious...so if you're not real comfortable with it, get some

help.

Fixed me immediately!! Thumbs Up!!
