    I checked my security centre and my Windows is already up to date.  Java still failed to be installed, with the same message.
    The Adobe file, AdbeRdr910-en-US.exe, also failed to be installed for the same reason: Error 1606 - could not access network location %APPDATA%\.

    Can you create a new user account and try to download/install Java from it?

    This way we will know if it's the computer itself or just your account.

      I created a new user account but had the same result with Java.  Installation still failed with the same message: could not access network location %APPDATA%/.

      I'm out of ideas.

      Maybe try to scan your computer for faulty files.

      • Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
        • Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue  progress bar goes away
      SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

        I ran sfc and the result is:"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation".
        Java still failed to be installed.

        Would you recommend "System Restore"?  I have been able to update both Adobe and Java in April 2009.

          I wanted to go back to April 2009, but the restore points shown in System Restore only go back to 5/8/2009.  Is there any way I can go back to April 2009?

            Sorry to report that System Restore couldn't solve the problem either.   Though I'm still out on a limb, i want to thank you very much for the trouble and time you took.  Is it going to have to be the final drastic measure of product recovery for my computer?

            You can try posting in the Computer Help section. Someone there will have some ideas.
