HI all great forum

I Have vista ultimate Build 6000 rtm and when i attempt to install programs i get the error message "error 1327 invalid path p:\ i have removed the mapped drive of p:\

But still no joy any ideas plz.....

Hi,

I have windows vista package with me but I did not see any Setup.exe file in that package.
Generally all windows OS will come with Setup file. I am wondered whether there is any other way to start installing the Window Vista OS. I would appreciate if any of you could reply with the installtion procedure.
My laptop has 1GB RAM, 100GB hard Disk, 128MB Memory card and 2GHZ processor speed. I think this configuration would do for installing Windows Vista.

Thanks in advance

It would seem that when you go into the elevated security mode during installation, all your shares are lost! The reason being that you are now “Administrator� and the shares are user specific. Makes sense in theory but is mucho annoying in practice.

So here's how you solve it:
1. Disconnect the previously mapped network drive from Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on Command Prompt in the Start Menu and selected Run As Administrator.
3. Typ "Net Use y: \\servername\sharename"
4. Exit out of the command prompt
5. Open Windows Explorer
6. Click 'Map network drive' menu item
7. Select the y: drive and typed \\servername\sharename into the Folder box.

Not very intuitive, but it works!

EASIER WAY: If you already have a mapped network drive, just do steps 2-4 and it should work...essentially you map it once for the user, once for the administrator. (can't we all just share stuff and get along?)

Brilliant - life saver!
NTi didn't know this, nor did installshield....

What a brilliant reply! Shame we can't put a name to it..
