Error Message \"Invalid Drive h:/\" while uninstalling

Postby sdeschenes » Wed Sep 12, 2007 3:40 pm

I am installing my product from a shared network drive. After the installation, I reboot my test machine. After the reboot, I go and uninstall my application. But during the uninstall, a message appears saying "Invalid Drive: h:\\" and then the uninstall fails. The only way to get around this is to connect to the network drive that my product was installed from. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks,
Scott

If it an Uncompressed Layout installation, you can't do nothing more than copy the files on your local hard drive first and run the installation later. Otherwise you can create a Single Installation File, which caches the necessary files on the local hard drive. If you use a Single File you won't get that error.

I create the Single File Installation on my development machine, copy it to the shared network drive and install from the shared network drive. I don't see why I need to be connected to the shared drive to uninstall my product.

Is there something I can do about this?

Since I distribute my product on CD/DVD, does this mean that my customers would require the CD/DVD to uninstall my product?

To uninstall no, to make a maintenance install (fix/repair) yes.
