Update Manager Mystery

Post #296,634 by imqwerky 12/2/07 9:19:24 AM Reply	Update Manager Mystery I keep getting in a loop that is driving me nucking futs! The Windows Update Manager wants to do it's voodoo, but I get a message that "the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Update Manager disk and click OK" Well, I don't what the hell it's talking about...so I click cancel. Then I get an error message..."Error 1706 No valid source could be found for product Update Manager. The Windows Installer cannot continue." I have no idea why now all of a sudden I'm getting this crap. I haven't run my cleanup stuff in a few days, so I've started that. Hope I haven't downloaded a cootie :-(. TIA for the feedback. Smile, Amy

Looking for [link\|http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=error+1706&x=0&y=0&catalog=LCID%3D1033&spid=&qryWt=&mode=r&cus=False\|Error 1706] in MS's KnowledgeBase turns up several hits. The [link\|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299803/en-us\|2nd one] looks like a pretty good fit. Try the "MEDIAPACKAGEPATH" thingy - somehow. Maybe that'll help. I'm sorry this is rather obscure. All I know about this is what I've been able to Google. Good luck! Cheers, Scott. [link\|http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=006978452673906630972%3A_5xhnlvpsn4\|IWeThey Custom Search Engine]
