| | Installing programs to a mapped drive We have just begun testing Vista, and we're having difficutly getting any client / server (Time in a Box, Microsoft Dynamics SL, ect. ) software to install. It appears that the programs see Vista's mapped drives as UNC locations, and the installations fail. I've tried using the netuse command and tried running the programs as the administrator, but haven't had any success. I'm sure I'm just missing something basic, any help would be great. |

| Win2k,WinXP,Vista | Re: Installing programs to a mapped drive The 3 possible solutions are: 1) Turn off UAC Disable User Account Control in Windows Vista 2) Start an 'elevated' command prompt, map the drive using NET USE, then start the installer as a child process of that command prompt Installing to Mapped drive with UAC On - TechNet Forums 3) Tell Windows Vista to share mapped drives between security tokens by adding the registry value 1 for value name EnableLinkedConnections at key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System After you turn on User Account Control in Windows Vista, programs may be unable to access some network locations |
