Error 1606 Upon Beginning Installation?

After completing the package and trying to install it on my machine, I receive Error 1606. I google'd how to fix it, and it involved going into the Registry but as far as I can tell, everything is correct.

I've attached a screenshot of the error. Any insight?

Thank you!
Michelle

Windows Installer won't normally pull a path from the machine that looks like this. Are you setting a Directory table path (or a property that shares the same name as a Directory table entry) based on a registry system search? If so, this path isn't a valid Win32 path (Win32 applications like MSI can't access a global NT object namespace path like \Device) and can't be used. If you are just attempting to read this information from the registry into a property, using a property name that isn't also a Directory table key should resolve the 1606 error.
