Error 1606

[paoloricardo]

I keep getting the dreaded "Error 1606 Could not access network
location :." (sic)

I've tried all the fixes i.e. deleting registry refs to Office 8.0 and
9.0, checking User Shell Folders and Common Administrative Tasks but
none works.

Also I've no idea what location ":." refers to.

Apart from disabling Windows Installer (to stop it popping up
randomly) I cannot update my Adobe Reader software.

Any miracle workers out there?

Thanks
