Whenever trying to install the Xerox Device Agent (XDA) or Xerox Page Connect on your PC or laptop, a user could get an error code 1406. This error is not related Xerox. It is a Windows error that is most seen on Windows 8. One of the most common reasons is that the setup cannot write the value Assembly to the registry key. This error can occur on any device that uses Windows as an operating system and most often occurs when someone tries to install a piece of software.
