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.
