Cannot install AdvancedInstaller 1.7 to a subst drive

Cannot install Advanced Installer 1.7 to a substituted drive

a) subst t: c:\DevTools

b) install AdvancedInstaller to t:\AdvInst17

==> error message "The specified path is too long: t:\AdvInst17"

c) need to cancel install

notes:
- install to c:\DevTools\Advanced Installer 1.7\ works fine
- install of e.g. a JDK or Exe4J to the t: drive works fine

thx,

Hello,

This is a well-known limitation of Windows Installer. It comes from the fact that subst drives are "per user", while the WI service runs "per machine".

Unfortunatelly there is no known solution to it yet.

We're running into a similar problem under Vista. We're trying to create a folder named "Snaptune Recordings" accessible to all users in
C:\ProgramData\Documents\

Some of our users get an error when installing claiming that the path is too long.

Thanks, Bill.
