installing from a read-only drive....

Sat Jul 18, 2009 2:32 am

For customer environments where my installer will be running from a read-only network drive, is there a recommended setting for the installer's "Extract Location"?

Right now it is

[AppDataFolder][|Manufacturer]\[|ProductName]\install

My self-extracting executable includes, and also downloads, prerequisites.

Hi,

Since the extraction path is on the client machine, it is fine as long as there is enough space to install the application, and the user has the required privilege to write to that location.
