Default My document redirection and "invalid drive"

I have enabled my dosument redirection which points to h:\my doucuments. The
"H" drive is mapped to \\servername\users\%username%. Whenever I install
applicaitnos that try to write to the "my documents" folde I get the
following error message.

Error 1327. Invalid Drive: h:\

I can access my files just fine and teh drive map connects fine.

Any suggestions?

Default My document redirection and "invalid drive"

I figured out the problem. It goes back to the stupid UAC. Because I have
to execute applicaiton installa with "Run as Administrator" the H: mapping
does not exist in that users context (administrator context) I had to create
a batch fiel on my desktop that would execute a command prompt and map all my
user drives. I then ran this batch file as admin "run as administrator"
leaving the command window open then ran my application installer "run as
administrator" and it worked without error. Microsogt needs to fins a way
around the UAC problems in the workplace... what a pain in the !@##$@. And
don't tell me to turn it off because a number of business sofftware vendors
(Quick books, peachtree, and many others) require it to be enabled for
integration to wokr on vista platforms. Your comments are appreciated.
