I have XP Home; I am getting error 1706 when using a limited user account

I forgot one other detail--the problem only happens on the limited user
account ...

You cannot install software under a limited account. You will have to
login under an admin-level account. In the Home edition, you have to
reboot Windows into its safe mode to get at the admin account.

My guess you accessed a function which was configured to install on
first-use and now you made that first use. The program then asks for the
installation media and will attempt to install that first-use function.
However, it is installing software and you are only under a limited
account.
