Hi there,
this is the Solution for a very stupid Windows Installer Problem. I had serious problems when I wanted to install Mp3ts 3.0 because I always got the message "Error 1606" Network path "..." not found.
That's no specific problem with mp3ts, it occurs with all progs that use the Windows Installer. I finally found the reason for that. An invalid Registry entry  caused all the trouble.

To fix that: Start REGEDIT and search this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER /Software /Microsoft /Windows /CurrentVersion /Explorer
Shell Folders / User Shell Folders

If the entry RECENT shows something stupid like "...",
delete the entry "RECENT "

And,.... surprise, surprise,... Now the Windows Installer works properly and you can install mp3ts 3.0 !
