Hello I am having an issue when retrieving the UNC path of my .msi installer.
The installer is run from a network directory (EX: \\FRTD\QUAD\QV\Setup\setup.msi). At the end of the installation this path needs to be passed to a config.exe program.
If I copy/paste \\FRTD\QUAD\QV\Setup\ into a file explorer and run setup.msi I can use the [OriginalDatabase] property to retrieve the full path(\\FRTD\QUAD\QV\Setup\setup.msi) and everything works correctly.
However if I access setup.msi through a mapped network drive it does not return the full path. Typically a user would access the installer through a mapped drive to the QUAD directory. When this is the case [OriginalDatabase] returns 'V:\QV\Setup\setup.msi' instead of the full network path.
I call my config.exe using a "Launch File" custom action and pass [OriginalDatabase] as a Command line argument.
Config.exe needs the full UNC path in order to configure correctly. Is there any way to get the full UNC path of setup.msi if you are running it through a mapped drive directory?
Thanks
