How to Troubleshoot an InstallShield Error 1706

1. Browse for the program’s MSI file if a browse dialog appears after the error message. Locate the “.msi” file for the program on your system, and double-click it. The installation will continue if you can provide the location of the required MSI file.
2. Insert the CD, DVD or other removable media in the same drive you installed the application from. For example, if you installed the program from a CD in your D: drive, insert the same installation CD in your D: drive, and restart the installer to continue.
3. Reconnect to the network drive, if you installed the application from a network drive. Click “Start,” click “Computer” and click “Map Network Drive” to reconnect the network drive. Use the Map Network Drive window to map the same network location you installed the application from to the same drive letter.
4. Verify you have full read, write and execute access to the network drive, if you’re using an installer on a network drive. Try copying the program’s installation files to your local computer if an installation from a network drive is failing.
5. Run the installer file as Administrator. Close the installer, right-click its EXE file and select “Run as Administrator” to launch the installer with full Administrator permissions.
6. Uninstall the program from the Uninstall a Program pane in the Control Panel. Reinstall the program from scratch after removing it entirely from your system.
