I have used both InstallSheild for Windows Installer and Installshield Projects(which uses its own Installer). Installing on a Mapped Drive Windows Installer version did not work but the other one worked.
I was able to install once on a Mapped drive using Windows Installer version but had problems with uninstalling saying package cannot found or something like that. I used a different installer for Mapped drive install you can check this http://www.innosetup.com which worked without a problem. Its simple and easy and its creates .exe file for installation. It's a Pascal scripting installer just like Wix but one advantage that has is the nice user interface for adding files and setting basic things. I wish Wix can come up with something like a Wix Editor.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives. Were you using "InstallShield for Windows Installer" or just InstallShield standalone installation technology? Those are very different things. -----Original Message----- From: gaurav.du...@wipro.com [mailto:gaurav.du...@wipro.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 05:57 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives. ________________________________ From: Gaurav Dutta (WT01 - PES-HPIPG Technology) Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 7:17 PM To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives.
