I have tried making a perUser setup but even in this case it report the same error, the setup can't find the network location.So what can i make for making this working?

Not only do mapped drive letters belong to a user, but impersonated custom actions do not load the user's profile, so trying to access that user's documents folder from code will fail unless you arrange to use the appropriate Windows Installer property, probably AppDataFolder. In other words using SpecialFolder.ApplicationData in an impersonated CA will likely fail, so pass the actual property into the code for a chance at the right location. The usual way to get around the drive letter issue is to use share names, that will work assuming the installing user has access to the network share and you're impersonating. As has been said, the localsystem account has no network privileges. --- Phil Wilson On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Phill Hogland phogl...@rimage.com wrote: I think that this was pointed out earlier, but mapped network drives are User resources and may not be defined for another user, and would not be available to localSystem. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-error-with-document-folder-on-network-location-works-fine-running-only-the-msi-tp7598703p7599013.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

[WiX-users] FW: Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
I have changed the code for using XmlConfig instead of XmlFile, but the result is the same:The file is installed correctly but when the XmlFile or the XmlConfig try to access the file to change an elment of the xml fileit report an error that say that it can't find the Drive on network, and the setup fail.Any other way to try?It could be that when I install the setup run as another administrator user (different from the current user) so it can't see the network location as it is specific for the current user ???This problem is blocking me, and I can't find a working way with WiX for doing this installation.Thanks for any support.

Install the file to the Documents folder 2. Edit the file in place after it's been installed I've often seen people posting about having problems using XmlFile. I have always used the XmlConfig element instead and haven't had any problems. You might get less trouble by switching. Can you show the XmlFile that you're using?

Re: [WiX-users] FW: Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
Is this a per-user or per-machine install? If it's per user, the install should not be elevated and it should run in the same context as the logged in user. If it's a per-machine install, then it will be elevated but it shouldn't be writing out required files to a per-user Documents folder. It may be easier/more-reliable to put this in a standard location as a template and on first run of the application copy it to the documents folder. That way if the user corrupts or deletes the file, the next run of the application can copy down the template. -Original Message- From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 2:24 PM To: WiX - users Subject: [WiX-users] FW: Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi) I have changed the code for using XmlConfig instead of XmlFile, but the result is the same:The file is installed correctly but when the XmlFile or the XmlConfig try to access the file to change an elment of the xml fileit report an error that say that it can't find the Drive on network, and the setup fail.Any other way to try?It could be that when I install the setup run as another administrator user (different from the current user) so it can't see the network location as it is specific for the current user ???This problem is blocking me, and I can't find a working way with WiX for doing this installation.Thanks for any support.
