Themes not found when accessing via UNC path

[/usr/local/dick]

I have a copy of WPI sitting on my disk.

I have VMware workstation 6.0.4 running, so that I can start out with a fresh copy of XP without any apps.

In VMware, I host the host-guest file system to access a folder on my host disk.

In the VM, you connect to that like this:

\\.host\Shared Folders\

When I use this way to browse to my WPI folder the actual path used is this:

\\.host\Shared Folders\D\Software\WPI

When I then open WPI.hta I get this errors:

'Windows' theme does not exist. Switching to Windows, the default theme.

I click OK. Same error again. I click OK.

The 'Windows' theme could not be loaded. Please re-install the theme.

I click OK. WPI quits.

However!

If I map the network drive to let's say Z: and then access WPI:

Z:\D\Software\WPI

then everything works like a charm.

It looks like WPI chokes on the UNC path with a dot in it?

Have just tried it out via Remote Desktop mapped folder (i.e. \\tsclient\D\wpi ), and that also fails with the same error.

Thanks!!!
