Also check the 

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Not sure what they should be set to in here but I think they use hard
coded refs rather than variables.  (don't have a 2003 box in front of me
at the moment)  If one is set to F: that is your giveaway

Hi,

 

Thank you, but all the keys are using the %userprofile% for the admin
profile.  Any other thoughts?

Hi Christine,

 

The local admin account has picked up a default profile that incudes
folder redirection to F: drive. Since F: drive doesn't exist, msiexec is
giving up.

 

The fix is easy. MISEXEC is checking the local admin's personal folder
location by looking at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders. Run regedit, go to the key and replace all the  F:\ references
in the values under that key with %userprofile%. Now restart
explorer.exe with the command (run from a command prompt) "tskill
explorer".

 

If you try the install after that it should work fine.

 

regards,

 

Rick
