I don't know how much this is related to your problem, but mapped drive letters are difficult for a number of reasons. They are not system wide because they belong to the user profile. There's also the issue that the system account usually has limited access (or none) to the network. To make it even worse, impersonation does not load the user's profile, the stuff that includes the mapped drives. So if the code runs without impersonation the system account can't get to the network. If you run impersonated you may not see the H: drive and by default won't be elevated.
The general advice in these cases is to use the actual share name to avoid the mapped drive letter issues, but access is going to be an issue, that's probably where you need to look. --------------- Phil Wilson On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 9:16 AM, Rob Mensching <r...@firegiant.com> wrote: > It's about Windows Installer functionality not WiX functionality. > > _____________________________________________________________ > Short replies here.
