Another Win 2008 Server - 64bit error... 1606???
Hi again,
I have yet another error I'm experiencing on Win 2008 64 bit server... 1606 - Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\wwwroot.
It seems that on this OS, the System Drive Evnironment Variable is handled weird, incorrectly or something. Even from the command prompt I can't change to this directory using this Env. Var.
If I change the following (hard code the system drive) the install proceeds past this problem point.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot (had value of %SystemDrive%Inetpub\wwwroot changed to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
The same change had to be made in the 64 bit hive as well.
I'm wondering if this is a known problem on this platform and what I'm going to be able to do about it.
I'm going to reproduce the problem here, log the install and see where it is failing. I guess that might give me a better idea on a course of action. If anyone has any experience with this, let me know.
Thanks much as always!!!

The way I handled this
The way I handled this is....
We have a little wrapper application that checks for requirements on a system, then presents the user the ability to install a 3rd party application then our application.
During the requirement check I, through this application, can grab the environment variable. I set the registry key based on this, then restore the registry key when the need for it has passed. In other words, I hacked it!! :D
