Error Message 1606 / Feature ID not registered

[msjackik]

When I launch any office product, I'm getting a Windows Installer error 1606.
Feature ID not registered. I've just gotten my computer and everything is new
and "authentic." Any help?

I found the following:
The user receives an error message such as "This product is not installed"
or "Feature ID not registered."

Cause: This could be caused by a user with a roaming user profile logging
on to two computers simultaneously, which is an unsupported use of roaming
user profiles.

Solution: Have the user log off one computer before logging on to another.
That way, the application shortcuts will be updated and valid on the second
computer, and they will not give error messages.



Are you networked to another system?

Hi Joann,

The machine isn't networked. So it's just me and an ethernet connection to
get to the internet.

I found the following:
The user receives an error message such as "This product is not installed"
or "Feature ID not registered."

Cause: This could be caused by a user with a roaming user profile logging
