Error - "Invalid Destination Drive..." Instal |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer receives the message "Invalid Destination Drive Specified For Install" while installing WP on a Microsoft LAN Manager network. The installation program may also get stuck in a loop when the customer tries to specify the directory to install the software. The customer is repeatedly asked if he or she wants to create the directory the customer is installing to if the customer says "Yes" the first time. Solutions: This problem has been duplicated in-house on the Microsoft LAN Manager network. One possible workaround is to install to another directory or drive and copy the program to the desired location afterwards. Another customer created the WP51 directory on the network drive prior to installing WP51 and received an "Invalid Drive/Path Specification" error message. He was using Microsoft Lan Manager version 2.1. If the customer did not manually create the directory before attempting to run the Install program, and allowed the Install program to do it, the error did not occur. Also, try checking the attribute of the directory to where the program is being installed. With DOS 5.0 you can use ATTRIB How/Why: The problem could also be duplicated if the archive bit on the directory was changed to on, or A. This signifies that the directory has recently been backed up. Backup programs typically set this bit to denote the fact that the directory has already been backed up. As a workaround, the customer could turn off the archive bit and install the program again, or install the program locally and then copy it up to the server.
