I experience big problems with any software that uses Microsoft Installer to install, e.g. MS Technet, New Symantec software etc.
I recive the following error-message:
"Error 1606. Could not access network location"
There is no need for any network communication to take place during installation.
I use WinNT 4.0 WS + SP5
I have even installed "instmsi.exe", but with no luck.

Any advice gratefully received.

We're having the same problem, only our error is appended with '\profiles\all users\start menu\programs\administrative tools\.'
I tried deleting the registry entry. It didn't work for us. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
