Running installer from mapped drive asks for login
Hi all,
I have a mapped drive on a NAS that has all my downloaded software on it. When I run one of the installers it always asks for a login. What gives? I'm already logged into the drive. Why is it asking for login again? How do I stop this annoying behaviour? Sean.

Running installer from mapped drive asks for login
When you run the install program it is actually executing on your main
machine and not the server. Some of the support files may be written to be put in a folder adjacent to the Source file your are trying to install. This may be what's prompting the logon to your server request. Try moving the install file to a folder in the "Program Files" folder, named appropriately. Then run Install from there. -- Regards, BobF. "Sean S" wrote in message news  Hi all, I have a mapped drive on a NAS that has all my downloaded software on it.

Because it's the installer trying to access the folder not you Windows
Explorer. There's a big difference in how that happens. -- Regards, BobF.

Because mapped network drives belong to the Intranet security zone rather than Local machine. Some kinds of setup are sensitive to this. Regards, --PA
