How are file paths handled once the installer starts?

[Jbenke]

I am curious to know how the file paths are handled once the installer starts. Do they resolve to the direct paths and save those for execution later? EI d:\blahh\setup.exe or do they maintain their %WPI%\blahh\setup.exe untill it actually gets to their turn to install.

The reason I am asking is I am running the WPI from a network drive and I have to have a few reboots, When the machine comes back up I will need to remap to share and then call the installer.hta. The main question is do I need to make sure it's the same drive letter for the mapping or does it not matter?

The reboot functionality saves absolute paths, not relative. So you will have to map the same drive letter.

Actually, I misinformed you earlier. We changed it to relative paths in 6.1, so you should not have to worry about the drive letter. Sorry for the confusion, I was looking at some older code for some reason.
