Install Software Remote via Mapped Drive gives "Go To The Control Panel" Error

 

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this. On PC1, I've got a

shared folder which contacts installation files for a program. Using

a batch file, on PC2, I map to the shared folder on PC1 (which works)

and start the install file called setup.exe. I get an error occur

then saying "Please go to the control panel to install and configure

system components". However, if while still mapped, I browse to the

mapped drive and double-click the setup.exe file, it works! Why is

this and how to I get it to work automatically through the batch file

without erroring?

Hi Bobbie,

 

You may post the contents of your batch file here, so that I can try to repro the problem in my system.

Many apps. wont install over a network. You will probably have to

install that app on the specific PC.
