We have a problem with installing LN Designer 8.5.1 that was downloaded on Monday. We tried to make the install on:
a) PC with LN 8.0.2 that was uninstalled first
b) PC with LN 8.5 SP1
In both cases the error message: “Error 1606. Could not access network location Description.” appeared at the beginning of InstallShield Wizard (during calculating of necessary space on the disk).
It is really unknown what “Description” means.
If anybody knows the solution, please help.
Thanks,

Error 1606 during installation lotus_dominodesigner_w32_CZ5S0EN.exe over LN 8.0.2 (all clients, EN). OS: Win XP SP 3 Czech
Subject: Could you pls let me know what locale are you using
Could you please let me know what locale are you using? thanks.
Subject: Locale using: Czech
Hi,
and we are using Czech locale setting. This is the first time when something like that appeared (installing 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 8.5 without any problem).

Subject: Resolution
Hi,
there are two solutions to install 8.5.1 if the locales are not OK (error Error 1606).
1, Do NOT run setup.exe. Rather run .msi file directly.
2, In setup.ini (if you have it) edit line EnableLangDlg=N and change it to EnableLangDlg=Y. Then run setup.exe and choose English as a lenguage.
Subject: Worked perfectly
Item two worked perfectly.
Thanks
Subject: setup.ini for silent installation
If you want to install Notes silently the parameter “EnableLangDlg” won’t help.Instead you can edit the section “[Languages]” in setup.ini to enable only English.
[Languages]
count=1
default=409
key0=409
Subject: old entries in registry from previous version of notes?
maybe this link helps:http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21191106
it’s for terminal server environment, but maybe the same problem. try to use a registry cleaner and search for lotus notes.
don’t forget to backup your PC before doing this.
tool tip: RegSeeker - registry search tool
Subject: It is not the case … it is the standard XP machine.
We tried to do everything what we found about the similar problem on the net.
We cleaned all old registries but without any success. The same problem on other PCs also.
We did not install 8.5.1 Designer on completely fresh Windows installation yet - without LN 8.x installed before.

Subject: Windows 7, Clean Install 8.5.1
I have the same problem, Lotus Notes/Designer on clean Windows 7. Try to insall to default location (//Program Files/IBM/)
Subject: The install process is breaked before the point where is it possible to specify paths …
Because the install wizard breaks earlier it is not possible to specify paths. Does it mean that you problem was not exactly the same (error 1606)?

I apologize but it is not really clear what “Install/as/jm/ks” mean.
Can you explain it?
Thanks,

When I forward a note to the development team, I keep track of what team (Install) and who (initials of the dev/qe -eg: as/jm/ks) I sent the mail to
Subject: installation error 1606 at me, too
Unfortunatelly I have to confirm error 1606 during installation. I have tried to install Designer 8.5.1 on XP SP3 Czech and on Win7 with Czech localization - both with the same unsuccessful result.
Subject: install problem
Similar problem here, after installing and launching Notes 8.5.1 GUI does not start. Log file is created with the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Application “com.ibm.rcp.provisioning.application.ProvisioningApplication” could not be found in the registry.
Any ideas what that means, and how to correct this ?
Subject: This is a different problem from the initial post …
The install problem with error 1606 means that it is not possible to install LN client at all. The process is breaked at the beginning of install wizard.
Subject: Remove the Workspace directory
I had the same issue, I removed the workspace directory from the data directory and started Notes.
Subject: Please try the following …
Edit your notes.ini and add the following lines. Replace the Directory= line with your real data directory.
[Notes]
KitType=1
Directory=C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data
InstallType=6
InstallMode=1
Are you trying to upgrade from a multiuser to single user installation?
Subject: I am not sure if I understand you …
Thanks for you reply but I am not sure if we understand. You mentioned to do some changes to notes.ini but there is only notes.ini file of current LN client installed na the PC (8.5 SP1). The install package of 8.5.1 does not have this file.
I tried what you suggested but without success as I expected.
Maybe I missed something?
