Error 1327 while trying to install software on a network drive

[Guest Andreas Girlich]

Hello,

 

I've got Error 1327 while installing software on a network drive. The drive

is read and writeable without any problems. Just installing with Microsoft

Installer gives me this error message. The full error messages is "Error

1327. Invalid drive P:\"

 

Any ideas what might cause the error?

 

 

Greetings and thanks in advance,

Andy

This error indicates a limitation on the account used to install the

software. You may have read/write access to the network drive but there may

be restrictions on the ability to install software.

Are you sure the software involved can, in fact, be installed to a

network drive? Not all software can.

Hi Adrian,

 

there are no user quotas enabled. I want to install OpenOffice.org 2.3 on a

network share, provided by a samba server in the same network.

Hi Sid,

 

yes, I'm quite sure. I've noticed a few OpenOffice.org installations which

came from a network share.

Installing on a local drive works.

 

Greetings,

Andy

Andreas,

 

Used to have the same problem on the 11, 000 workstations at work with installing Adobe

Acrobat. What we used to do is creat a mapped P:\ drive to any location & install the

software. Once installed, delete the mapped drive
