Installshield cannot find Vista Network drive : Recommended solution
- by Run CMD
Our installer writes common files, shared betweeen users, to a user-selectable location.
However, in Vista (and maybe in win7 too), the installer does not see any network drives or network locations. This is because in Vista, the drive is mapped to the current user, and the installer starts elevated, as administrator.
I can't imagine i'm the first to experience this problem, so what's the recommended solution for this ? Just ignore it, and provide your own "Copy database folder to network" method in the software ?
