Hi,
I use Wise for Windows Installer and I have built all our company's app with it. However recently I ran into problems with users who do not have a C: drive. If they don't have a C: drive, the installer would not run at all. My guess is that I set the variable INSTALLDIR to C:\Program Files\xxxxxx. So I tried to change it to [ProgramFiles]\xxxxxxx but then the installer has the error message "Error 1606. Could not access network location [ProgramFiles]\xxxxxx". How to fix it? Thanks!

Didn't you mean [ProgramFilesFolder]? |
I just tried [ProgramFilesFolder] and I got the same error.
Help!

You most likely have a directory called "ProgramFiles" in your directory table (probably created by you), which is resolving to drive "C:".
You should remove this entry and search the database for other occurances. If you find other occurances, replace them with "ProgramFilesFolder".

[ProgramFilesFolder] already includes a trailing backslash so you should specify
[ProgramFiles]xxxxxxx
Display the value of [ProgramFilesFolder] on a dialog, or generate a log file, to see where it actually points to. Same for INSTALLDIR. Remember to set INSTALLDIR to a vlaid location before the standard action CostFinalize is executed.
