Hi Joel,

1706 error is: No valid source could be found for product X. There are a
few possible reasons for this.

1. Only Administrators have access to the Office Admin Point on the network
- Add appropriate permissions to source files.
2. There are some missing registry keys that need to be repared. Follow the
articles in Issue 2 to make sure the appropriate keys are there.
