Came acrossed a neat one today; In doing a setup capture of the C++ component of  Visual Studio 6, kept getting an error 1606 - Could not access network location 6.
Couldn't find (and still can't) where network location "6" is coming from; However, DID find out that just by creating a subfolder called "intel" under a folder called "Microsoft Visual Studio" would cause the error to occur - and this was on a fresh, clean setup capture without actually "capturing" or installing any media! Any idea's why this happens? The error happens during the run of the MSI; I, for the heck of it, replaced all Table data called "intel" with the word "baloney" (any word will work) and the install goes through fine! Any idea's??? Thanks!

Welp, for what its worth, I found some things out and am passing on the info I found; Seems that there's some sort of problem with having a folder named "Intel" in the directory structure. We found that weather doing a new Setup Capture, or just a "new" .msi, if the folder "Intel" is in the "right spot", you'll get the error; If you do so much as change the case of the "I" in "Intel" and make it "intel" - it works fine; Below is my reponse from Wise Technical Support that gives a little insight:
This error only occurs on computers that have Intel or AMD processors.  During SetupCapture, WfWI creates a predefined property named Intel, again, dependant on the existence of Intel or AMD CPUs, but not Alpha-based processors.  The way to fix this particular discrepancy is to simply rename the problem Directory table entry to anything but Intel.

Verify also that anything making a call to this Directory table entry is revised to reflect the change in the entry's name.
