Failed to install on virtual drive

Postby maoz » Mon Mar 10, 2014 1:42 am

I built my installer with InstallAware NX.
It works fine when I set the targetdir as C:\programs\test.

Then I created a virtual drive with the command "subst P: c:\views\"

However, when I set the targetdir as P:\programs\test, the installer shows the following Errors:
on Windows 7(64bit): Could not set file security for file 'P:\Config.Msi\'. Error: 3. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file.
on Windows Server 2003(32bit): The specified path is too lang. P:\programs

According to the debug result, the error happened when the "applay instll" is called.

So does InstallAware support the Virtual drive path?

Dear User,

Honestly, I never tried to install a package using the a virtual drive target as TargetDir and I'm not quite sure if this is allowed.
I suppose the system requires a real path with installing an application (... very probably).

Let me check.
