SUMMARY:
While installing the MERANT ODBC 3.7 Drivers you might encounter the following error message:
Error 1606. Could not access network location <path>
where for example, <path> represents "\Personal\My Pictures".
EXPLANATION:
This seems to be an error related to the Windows Installer. During installation it checks some registry entries which, in this case, are pointing to an invalid location.
SOLUTION:
Make sure all the paths in the following registry keys are valid.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Referring to the <path> example above, in the User Shell Folders, instead of:
"My Pictures"="\Personal\My Pictures"
it should be:
"My Pictures"="%USERPROFILE%\Personal\My Pictures".
NOTE: This solution was tested on Windows NT4.
