I recently setup a number of Dell Optiplex GX745 workstations with Vista
Business Ed. for a client of mine.



As a normal part of the setup process, a drive M: was mapped to a MS
Server2003 (Standard Ed.) member server's shared folder.

The workstation's "My Docs" folder was then relocated to a folder within
this shared drive.

So far, everything works fine.



I then attempted to install the Intuit program Quickbooks. As part of the
install, NetFrameWork v1.1 needs to be installed.

Unfortunately, the install fails with an "Error 1327", Invalid Drive M:

Spent nearly 2 hours with Intuit on the phone. No help.

See Intuit's article online at:

http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com... KSPRO2006_Fam

A search of Google and MS Knowledge Base showed a few suggestions.

I tried using Disk Manager and confirming the DVD drive letter.

I tried to disconnect the mapped drive, re-establishing the mapping while
unchecking the "reconnect at login" box, then rebooting.

These actions did NOT resolve the problem.



Can you help?

I'm an DELL technician, I'm working on DELL tech support. And i don't think
that the support will help you in this way. If your computer is running that
ok and if you want them to solve the problem may be they will ask you to re
install your OS. there is no soltion in the microsoft data base and DELL
can't be better than microsoft on microsft product

Hey, I have also struggled with this error. There is a perfectly
logical explanation, and I am at a loss why Microsoft doesn't have a
better error message, at least pointing to a TechNet article.

It would seem that when you go into the elevated security mode during
installation, all your shares are lost! The reason being that you are
now "Administrator" and the shares are user specific. Makes sense in
theory but is mucho annoying in practice.

So here's how you solve it:
1. Disconnect the previously mapped network drive from Windows
Explorer.
2. Right click on Command Prompt in the Start Menu and selected Run
As Administrator.
3. Typ "Net Use y: \\servername\sharename"
4. Exit out of the command prompt
5. Open Windows Explorer
6. Click 'Map network drive' menu item
7. Select the y: drive and typed \\servername\sharename into the
Folder box.

Not very intuitive, but it works!

EASIER WAY: If you already have a mapped network drive, just do steps
2-4 and it should work...essentially you map it once for the user,
once for the administrator. (can't we all just share stuff and get
along?)

I have the same problem. I map My Documents to a network drive and when
I tried to install some applications, I got the 1327 error. Andrea
posting gave me an idea... I went ahead and disable the User Access
Control and now it works like a charm. This is the * E A S I E S T *
solution if you don't like UAC to begin

It is not recommended to disable UAC. You may want to use elevated security
mode to map the network drive. Or this post may help.

Solved: Vista, Error 1327
