Hi,

I have a problem installing Trados 2007 Freelance with SP2 on a new desktop.
When I try to install, I get the message

Error 1606 Could not access network location
Microsoft Word STARTUP

I have had this problem before when I tried to install the SP2 on a laptop with Vista. The support dept of SDL Trados could not help me (I seemed to be the only one...) and I finally had to re-install the whole laptop including the OS.

Hi,

I have a problem installing Trados 2007 Freelance with SP2 on a new desktop.
When I try to install, I get the message

Error 1606 Could not access network location
Microsoft Word STARTUP

I have had this problem before when I tried to install the SP2 on a laptop with Vista. The support dept of SDL Trados could not help me (I seemed to be the only one...) and I finally had to re-install the whole laptop including the OS.

But this desktop comes straight from the manufacturer with Vista installed. I also installed Office 2007.

Anyone out there who experienced the same problem and has a solution?

Thanks for any good suggestion.

Same here Apr 3, 2008

I'm having exactly the same problem, only I have Office 2003. So you are not the only one. But I have no solution yet.

still no solution Apr 4, 2008

Hi Ilona,

Sorry to hear that.

I still don't have a solution. The helpdesk of SDL Trados decided they can not help me. I boutgh a program to fix errors, but it did not work. And now the supplier of that program is providing me daily with solutions, but none of them help.

It's crazy.

Hopefully there will be a solution soon.
If there is, I will let you know.

A possible solution Apr 4, 2008

Hello,

Please make sure that you have administrative rights in Windows Vista and then try the solution from this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315352

*Please take great care when editing your system registry*

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,

Gareth Powell

I did Apr 4, 2008

Yes, that was suggested by your colleagues as well, and I have the proper rights. They suggested quite a few possibilities but none of them helped.

Not a possible solution Apr 4, 2008

Hello,

I apologise for the previous post, the link is incorrect. The solution only works for Windows XP. I will keep digging.

My apologies,

Gareth Powell

Any solution yet? Nov 1, 2008

I have exactly the same problem. Despite their best efforts, the support department also could not help. Has there been any progress?

not a real solution Nov 1, 2008

Finally I hired a company to solve the problem for me. A young guy (really a computer nerd) came and spent 3 hours working on it. Finally he had it working.... But when I asked him what he did, he could not give a clear answer.....

But then this summer I had to re-install my Dell computer for some other reason. Right....I was fearing to have the same problem again. But this time I got Trados installed without any problem.....

Startup folder Nov 1, 2008

Is your STARTUP subfolder located in the MS Office installation folder?

Location of STARTUP folder Nov 1, 2008

The only STARTUP folder I can find is Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\STARTUP. It is empty.

No, Gareth, it's not the way...

I imagine, another time, the SDL programmers don't take in account the Vista permission stuff.
I suppose they UAC is enabled and the access rights are not sufficient for the setup program despite of the user's administrative rights.

Cheers

You have:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Word\Startup
(I assume the standard location of the Users directory).

Try to put there your files manually.

That was just what I was thinking about. Copy the Trados8 Word template file to the Startup folder you have found. However, this will only help if the rest of Trados files have installed correctly.

Trados8 is in there Nov 2, 2008

I've now found another STARTUP folder (it had been hidden) as suggested at C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Word\Startup but this already has Trados8 in it.

The SP2 installation program gives "Error 1606 Could not access network connection \Microsoft\Word\STARTUP". As far as I can tell, this path does not exist.

I am using Trados Version 8 Freelance (Build 826) with Office 2007 and Vista and have been trying to install SP2 on and off since January. I have

I am using Trados Version 8 Freelance (Build 826) with Office 2007 and Vista and have been trying to install SP2 on and off since January. I have now bought the upgrade to SDL Trados 2007 Suite Freelence but of course this requires SP2 to be installed first.

I had some correspondence with SDL Trados support earlier in the year and followed their instructions, which included deactivating User Account Control, running the install program as administrator and running a program they sent me to fix a registry key. None of this made any diffrence and their last suggestion was

"Please have a look at these articles. It seems to be a vista specific problem.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905113.aspx"

Needless to say, I'm still struggling and would really appreciate some help!
