My colleague says that when Error 1706 occurs during an attempt to install an MSI file from
removable media, the first thing you should try to do is check the Media
Package Pathway and determine if the pathway does in fact track to the
right folder. If it does not, scan the removable media and locate the
file where the MSI file is housed. In some cases, you may find that the
MSI file is found in a folder that is named App1. Once you have
determined where to find the right file, it is a matter of resetting the
Media Package Pathway so that the system will find and activate the MSI
file. This will require you to make some changes to the command line or
possibly make a permanent change in the registry. It is important to note that making changes in the command line and
especially in the registry are functions that someone who is familiar
with writing code and general information system functions should
perform. If you are not knowledgeable about these sorts of functions,
there is every possibility that the modification will not result in
resolving the issue regarding the MSI file. Further, the change may
create additional problems with the media package.

I have reinstalled software for my HP Officejet 7310 printer and in the final stages I get a 1706 error indicating I am missing a file called "scan.msi". Any suggestions?
hi
Error 1706 is a Microsoft error that is sometimes generated when you install a Windows package from some form of removable data. Examples of removable data would be a CD-ROM or a DVD. Typically, the exact text of Error 1706 will include the phrase "no valid source could be found." One of the usual causes of this problem is that the Windows Installer or MSI file is not residing in the root folder of the media that is found on the removable data. This does not mean that the MSI file is not somewhere on the media -- just that it is not in the folder that your system is checking. While, in most cases, the Media Package Path would be altered to create a clear path to the MSI file. thank you
