Error 1606 when installing NI 6.0 when Visual Studio 6.0 w/SP5 is installed on Win2k or XP

[jcd]

Error does not occur if Visual Studio is NOT installed. Doesn't matter if MSOffice XP is on the machine or not. Happens on Win2k and XP.

jcd,

Error 1606 usually indicates that either a necessary key is missing from the registry or that something in the registry points to a file or directory that does not exist.

Make sure that the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\Setup registry key contains a value named VsCommonDir that contains the path to the Common directory under your Visual Studio install directory.
