# How To Rectify Could Not Access Network Location Error Message


<p><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">When installing QuickBooks Desktop, you may get an error message that says the following: <b>Could not access network location</b>. This error prevents QuickBooks from installing or updating correctly or may lead to incomplete or partial installation. It is related to issues accessing certain Windows registry keys or directories that QuickBooks needs to complete the installation process, primarily when the installer can't access a particular location or path on your computer. This can be due to incorrect permissions. A corrupted registry and missing paths can also be responsible. A damaged Windows user account and the network's inability to access it can trigger this error. Let’s discuss how to resolve it.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;">Reasons Why QuickBooks Can’t Access Network Location</span></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Here’s why QuickBooks can’t access the network location, further leading to </span><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><a href="https://blog.accountinghelpline.com/quickbooks-desktop-pro/quickbooks-error-1606/">QuickBooks error 1606</a></b>.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-dc2d9dbc-7fff-c463-b3c7-8043ee43fd61"><ul style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-wrap: wrap; vertical-align: baseline;">You may see this error in your system due to the damaged Windows user account.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-wrap: wrap; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows registry Problems can trigger this error.&nbsp;</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-wrap: wrap; vertical-align: baseline;">Corrupted setup files can lead to this error when installing QuickBooks Desktop.</span></p></li></ul><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Solutions To Resolve QuickBooks&nbsp; Installation Issues</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There are many ways to resolve this issue, such as installing QuickBooks in selective startup mode, fixing incorrect registry subkeys, and installing QuickBooks utilizing the administrator user account.
