Error 1706 is usually displayed at run time when a program is installed using InstallShield. It is a Microsoft error that is sometimes generated when you install a Windows package from some form of removable data.Specifically, the problem occurs because the Windows Installer continues to use cached CD information from the incorrect CD. As a result, the Windows Installer still assumes that the incorrect CD is in your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and Setup fails. The error message may also prompt you to browse and provide the location of the MSI package.This does not mean that the MSI file is not somewhere on the media, just that it is not in the folder that your system is checking.

Error 1706 occurs when users attempt to install an application from a network resource that is no longer available. To fix this error you should try to do is check the Media Package Pathway and determine if the pathway does in fact track to the right folder. During installation of a program that uses Windows Installer to perform the setup, the original installation or the MSI package is cached in the C:\winnt\Installer directory.

You must check that you have the latest InstallShield version on your computer. If not, then update it to resolve this error. The error can also because of Office CD-ROM. To change to a CD-ROM for the location of the Office source files, you must remove Office, and then reinstall Office from the CD-ROM. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Quit all Office programs.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.
3. Double-click the entry for the Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Office XP product that is installed.
4. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, select Uninstall Office, and then click Next.
5. Click Yes to confirm the removal of Office.
6. Click OK when the removal is finished.
7. Insert your Office 2003 or Office XP CD-ROM.
8. Follow the Setup dialog boxes to install Office from CD-ROM.
