SYMPTOM

When you install Point, an error occurs: "Error 1606. Could not locate network location...."

CAUSE

Check the installation setting in MyCalyx.com

You will need the MyCalyx.com administration login to correct the installation settings. You may need to contact the administrator to perform the steps below. 

1. Log into https://www.mycalyx.com.
2. From the landing page, click Manage Users.
3. From the manage users screen, take note of the installation group the user is assigned to.
   
   *NOTE: If an installation group is not required, you can double-click the username > remove the installation group and click the Update icon, then click Resend Email at the bottom.  Check your e-mail and try installing Point from the new installation email you receive and it might install without the error.
   
   However, if an installation setting is required, please complete steps 4 through 10.
   
4. Click Installation Settings.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Select the installation group to which the user is assigned.
6. Verify the path for templates and data folders are accessible from the user's computer. If the user is unable to access any path that is in the installation settings, either remove the path from the list or add a data folder or templates path that is accessible from the workstation.
   
   Also remove any invalid characters, such as quotes(") or commas (,) and correct any improper path settings, such as entering a forward slash (/) rather than a backslash () in the folder path.
   
   The example below shows an improper path setting for the Templates Directory Path. It was set at "H:/Pnttempl". The correct path should be H:Pnttempl - with a backslash, not a forward slash.
   
   
   
   
   
7. When the path settings have been corrected, click Save.
8. Click Manage Users.
9. Highlight the user's account that is experiencing the error.
10. At the bottom, click Resend Email.
    
    
    
    
    

11. The user will receive another MyCalyx e-mail with the new application settings to install Point.
