Quite often, users complain about the appearance of the message "MS Office 1406 Error". At the same time, they get a lot of tips that absolutely do not help to cope with the problem. Naturally, this is very disappointing, since the Microsoft office application is an important modern service that is extremely necessary for the user. Despite the growing number of similar programs, MS Office is still the most popular of them.
Before considering ways to deal with this problem, it should be noted what should not be done if an error 1406 occurred during the installation of Office 2010. The most common tips, following which will lead only to an empty loss of time, include the following:
1. Clean the registry. There are two ways to do this. Using special programs and manually. Automatic cleaning is easy. They start 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 the sections that are indicated in the message. To do this, open the registry, find the appropriate directory. However, when you try to change something in it, you receive a categorical failure of the system. Neither administrator rights nor other tricks help.
2. Reinstall Windows. Undoubtedly, this is a very useful preventive procedure, which is good to carry out at least once a year. After reinstalling the system and the necessary set of programs, the user, when trying to install MS Office, will probably see “Error 1406” again.
3. Another misconception is to use a different Microsoft Office distribution. Listening to this advice, users pump out dozens of different application options, trying to find "the same thing."
These are the most common tips from those that fall on the head of a user who indicates that he has a 1406 error on his computer.
The reason for the appearance of such an inscription is quite simple. It lies 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,” neither the user nor the application being installed can change anything in it.
It should be noted that the “victims” of the “Error 1406” message are not only fans of Office 2010, but also users of many other programs, such as Acrobat, AutoCAD, etc. A similar error can be seen when installing some drivers.
In almost all cases, the culprits of such a problem are remedies. In such "sins" Dr.Web, McAfee, and others were noticed. Accordingly, in order to install the necessary application, it is only necessary to turn off the antivirus program for a while.
Dr.Web users can be advised to go to the settings, where it is necessary to select "Advanced". There, they will probably be able to see a checkmark showing the operation of a function that prohibits the modification of important system objects. If you deactivate it, then error 1406 will disappear and will no longer bother with its appearance. Thus, knowing the reason, it will be easy to overcome the unpleasant consequences.
