This is an oldie, but a good point for those of you playing in corporate IT land. My fault it didn’t get posted. Look for more from John on his blog, from Civil to Inventor, and his occasional posts here. JW
I just reinstalled everything on my Dell. Vista had become a bit unstable. It’s been 6 months on a Vista OS, I should have scheduled it when I installed it all last time.
I ran across a new issue on the install: Error 1606. Could not access network location…..
This has NEVER happened. It didn’t even get to the config screen. Read the solution after the jump.
A search online took me to this document:

This discusses mislinked user profiles, and yes, that will really screw up some installs, but after checking, all the paths were perfect. That’s not it. But what then? After seriously preparing to rerun it all again on Thanksgiving Day, I had a thought. (yeah yeah, real funny you guys….)
I kept having a few odd behaviors with regard to the Administrator privileges, and it just kept nagging at me in the back of my mind. My Domain was established, the cache copied, and my user was firmly logged in, to which I am an administrator.
ON THE DOMAIN!!! not the local machine. I logged out and then in as the LOCAL admin, and sure enough, I forgot to promote my domain user to the local machine with administrator rights.
Maybe Autodesk will pick up this as a supplement to the existing error post.
