urgan Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Seen something similar, not with 2003, and it had to do with the paths without drive letter.Suggest you try putting "C:\sys\whatever" instead. With the commas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LevT Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 It seems that your advice is not good. Changed to TargetPath="C:\SYS\WIN"I get the following setup error message:The folder name you typed is not valid. Make sure the folder name is not the root folder and does not contain any consecutive backslash characters.Also make sure the folder name follows the standard MS-DOS rules.To continue. press ENTER. Setup will prompt you to enter a different folder name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urgan Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 could it be the fact windows it's not installed directly on root folder and that brakes some code ?is your "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" -> "SystemRoot" correctly set ?

Jito463 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Also, for these lines:ProfilesDir="C:\SYS\USERS\" SFCDllCacheDir="c:\SYS\Relocated\CACHE\Dllcache"Don't use the C:\, just use \. Setup automatically assumes the C drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
