MS Access Forum / Setup / Configuration / December 2007Unable to install Office 2007 - Error 1606
Hi. I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and i tried installing Office 2007 Pro on it, and was confronted by the Error: Error 1606.Could not access network location %PUBLIC%\Desktop. I googled up Error 1606, and I guess its something to do with the default locations as set by Windows. I did find a couple solutions that involved editing the registry, but none of them referred to Vista, they were all XP or 2000. Are there any workarounds for this problem? I really need to get Office installed, my deadlines are nearing, and my Office is refusing to install. Any help will be VERY greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! This is just a shot in the dark, because I would think that the Office install would already run as admin, but when you put the CD in, cancel the install and then, using Windows Explorer, go to the SETUP.EXE file on the CD and right-click and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Hey bob! No luck! I cancelled the setup and using Explorer ran it as an Administrator. I started the install for Word 2007, the installer began and just about midway, boom : Error 1606.Could not access network location %PUBLIC%\Desktop. Any clues? I am thoroughly confused and REALLy need that software installed! You got any more suggestions? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Nope, I'm at a loss on that one. Sorry.
