Unable to complete install correctly over UNC paths

When I install my app using a local or mapped drive it installs correctly.

When I install it using a UNC path, i.e. \\someserver\share, it will install the app but will not write registry changes. The app also shows up in control panel add/remove programs with no size listed. When I run the app it will create the registry keys because they do not already exist but then they of course do not contain the settings I am trying to use with the app.

The Install package includes prerequsites for Windows Installer 3.1 and .NET 2.0 and adds a registry key and subkeys.

Any reason that not using a drive letter would make the reg entries not function.

Hi

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. Can you please send us the AIP (project) file you are using to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?

Best regards,
Cristi
