Hi,
I'm getting an error 1606 when trying to update Quickbooks Pro 2012. I thought initially that this was a QB problem, but it turns out it's an installer problem.
My PC now cannot seem to install anything due to this error, even Microsoft Updates.
I have looked at the article support.microsoft.com/kb/8
Everywhere I can see online tells me it's a problem with the User Shell Folders reg keys in HKLM and HKCU, but I have checked all of them and they are fine.
What's more annoying, is that the error tells me it's network location " :"
I even searched the registry for that key, but it doesn't exist.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
Marty
