HI,
I installed LIMEWIRE 2.1.1.
Everything went well until Downloading ISSCRIPT.MSI
The File was nearly completly downlaoded, but in the end, it showed the mesage:
ERROR 1607, Unable to install INSTALLSHIELDSCRIPTING RUNTIME.
O.k., I read all the faq's, and I was told to download ISScript Installer, I run it and the Message :
ERROR 1606 Could not Access Network Location
was shown.
O.k., I read the faq'a again and it was told looking in the >Windows>Installer-Folder. All hidden folders are shown. The only file I found in that folder is:
23d8a.msi
I rightclicked on it, but there was no secure-tab.
So, now I don't know, what to do.
Limewire 1.6d was installed with no probs.
My system is a PII-450 on Asus P3BF -Board with WIndows 98SE.
My Connection is T-DSL via D-Link EthernetCard.
I uninstalled all limewire-Progs, and restartet my computer.
The Java-Prog is running, also IE 5.5


Thanks for a solution

Sidolin-

Thanks for the thorough look at the FAQs before posting. The 1606 error, as you said, means that the installer is having trouble accessing some network location, which could also just mean an external drive. Did you download the installer directly to your primary hard drive (the one with your system files on it)? If not, I would recommend trying that and running the installer again.

Had the same prob, NONE of the FAQ solutions worked.

I was logged on as a user, with my folders unavailable to anyone but me, on a second partitioned drive.

Then I tried logging on as the default user, put the install program in the programs folder, installed it there, and it worked.

Hi,
thanks for the many help-suggestions.
But they all don't work,
the first not because I downloaded it directly to C:\limewire
the second not because there's only 1 HDD with only one Partition.

I tried a lot the last day, but it still doesn't work. Everytime I would like to run the ISSCRIPT INSTALLER, I get the Error-Message:
1606: COULD NOT ACCESS NETWORK LOCATION

But it's a single PC, the only Network-Solution is for T-DSL.
I Run 2 Patches against Micrsosoft-Bugs in the Internet-Explorer.
Maybe it's that. But I don't know how to Unistall these Patches. But they are provided by Microsoft, so I think they should be o.k. (Patches against bugs for running IE 5.5 with the German T-Online Internet-Provider).

Thanks,
Mike

Here's InstallShield's description of this error. Only we have access to the directory table in the installer, but it looks fine. Is it at all possible that the installer is unable to access certain directories??

Thanks.

Error 1606 is thrown by the CostFinalize standard action. One purpose of CostFinalize is to verify that all target directories are writable before allowing the installation to continue. If a directory table entry has been specified but the Installer is unable to resolve the path, this error will occur. For example, if you define INSTALLDIR as "Y:\MyFolder," and the Windows Installer cannot find a Y drive on the target machine, error 1606 will be thrown. This error can also occur when illegal characters or syntax are used within the directory table.

Hi everybody ,

LIMEWIRE IS RUNNING!

But for sure: I don't know, what kind of problem this was.
How did it work?

O.k., I was running my Windows 98SE round about 2 and a half year, with a lot of installing and uninstalling software, e.g. shareware and freetools.
So I decided to erase my whole HDD and install a new, fresh and fast running windows (THis time, i installed two, one for experimenting and one for all my work ;-) )

And?

Installing was no problem.
So I think, it might be a wrong syntax in my directory-table as you mentioned.

So far, thanks for all the help.

Bye,
Mike

Hey, glad to hear you got it working. Sorry it required such drastic action!

I have the 1606 error and i can,t seem to install , it says could not Access Network location ( common administrative tool. all users, please help me. I just upgraded to win xp. I need help

InstallShield has reported that these errors can occur with some non Microsoft Networks, and their recent update reportedly has fixed this issue. We will be using their most recent update for the next LimeWire release, but we have not fix until that is out the door(which could take several weeks).

What should I do until then
I use this program everyday. It is a great tool
