error 1606

(1/5) > >>

oldnooob:
I have been searching google all day for a fix for the 1606 error with no easy solutions found.
I have just completed your tweaking program but no luck here.
the articals on the web are  conflicting as to the possible cause, one says it's Java, another says it's an Install Shield error. Microsoft admits to thousands of complaints but they simply refer to thier MrFixit program which is a joke.
OH, the error refers to a missing %PUBLIC%\. folder which install programs need.
There are lots of articals (yeah, bad spelling) on the web but I am not very literate so solutions must be very simple.
Any help would be very welcome.
 

Shane:
Can you post a screen shot of the error when you get it?

That always helps me get an idea on things :-)

oldnooob:
Thanks for the quick reply. I am a real noob so it will probably take me all day tomorrow to upload a screenshot.
HAHA! I just got hacked! I logged into my esnips page and tried to upload the screenshot and the page told me to use the flashplayer link and when I did Mcafee had a fit but I proceeded and wound up with a whole bunch of spam on my esnips page. I will probably have to change my email account and close my esnips page. boo hoo.
so now the only way I know how to get the screenshot to you is by email unless you know a better way.
Note: there are three ooo's in oldnooob for a reason!

Shane:
You can attach jpgs to here when posting :wink:

So when you have the error up hit the prtscn button on your keyboard.

Now open paint, go to edit and paste. Now save it as a jpg or png file.

Then when posting you will have an attach option at the bottom. Just attach the picture there :cheesy:
