Error 1406 when installing applications

Quite often, users complain about the appearance of the message "MS Office 1406 Error". In doing so, they receive a lot of advice that absolutely does not help to cope with the problem. Naturally, this is very insulting, since Microsoft's office application is an important modern service that is extremely necessary for the user. Despite the growth in the number of similar programs, MS Office still remains the most popular of them.

Before you consider how to deal with this problem, you should note what you should not do if there was an error 1406 when installing Office 2010. The most common advice, the following will lead to only a waste of time, include the following:

1. Clean the registry. You can do this in two ways. Using special programs and manually. With automatic cleaning everything is simple. Run the program, it optimizes the system, which is very useful, but does not affect the occurrence of the described error.

A more radical way is to manually clean those sections that are indicated in the message. To do this, open the system registry, find the appropriate directory. However, if you try to change anything in it, you receive a categorical failure of the system. Do not help, no administrative rights, no other tricks.

2. Reinstall Windows. Undoubtedly, this is a very useful preventive procedure, which it is good to hold at least once a year. Having reinstalled the system and the necessary set of programs, the user, when trying to install MS Office, will probably see again "error 1406".

3. Another misconception is the use of another Microsoft Office distribution. Listening to this advice, users pump out dozens of different variants of the application, trying to find "the same thing."

These are the most common tips from those that fall to the head of a user who indicated that he had an error on the computer 1406.

The reason for the appearance of such an inscription is quite simple. It consists in the fact that a certain system process blocks any attempt to make changes to important elements of the system. And since the registry is the "foundation of the basics", then neither the user nor the application can change anything in it.

It should be noted that not only users of Office 2010 become victims of the "Error 1406" message, but also users of many other programs, such as Acrobat, AutoCAD, etc. A similar error can be encountered when installing some drivers.

In almost all cases, the originators of such a problem are the means of protection. In such "sins" Dr.Web, McAfee, etc. were noticed. Accordingly, in order to install the required application, it is necessary to turn off the anti-virus program for a while.

Users of Dr.Web can be advised to go to the settings, where you need to select "Advanced". There they will surely be able to see a tick indicating the operation of a function that prohibits the modification of important system objects. If it is deactivated, error 1406 will disappear and no longer disturb its appearance. Thus, knowing the reason, it will be easy to overcome the unpleasant consequences.
