Innosetup does not use Windows Installer. The bottom line is that Windows Installer does not support mapped drive setups and Wix only produces Windows Installer setups.
If you're restricted to use MSI-type setups then other authoring tools will not help because of the inherent limitation of MSI with regard to mapped drives. -----Original Message----- From: Arun Perregatturv [mailto:aperregatt...@napcosecurity.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 9:59 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives. I have used both InstallSheild for Windows Installer and Installshield Projects(which uses its own Installer). Installing on a Mapped Drive Windows Installer version did not work but the other one worked. I was able to install once on a Mapped drive using Windows Installer version but had problems with uninstalling saying package cannot found or something like that. I used a different installer for Mapped drive install you can check this http://www.innosetup.com which worked without a problem. Its simple and easy and its creates .exe file for installation. It's a Pascal scripting installer just like Wix but one advantage that has is the nice user interface for adding files and setting basic things. I wish Wix can come up with something like a Wix Editor.

Those are very different things. -----Original Message----- From: gaurav.du...@wipro.com [mailto:gaurav.du...@wipro.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 05:57 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives. ________________________________ From: Gaurav Dutta (WT01 - PES-HPIPG Technology) Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 7:17 PM To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Issue Regarding Install on mapped/shared drives. The third party software Installshield allows installation on network drive or mapped drive. We have a requirement to have wix setup(.msi) to be installed on network / mapped drive.Can you please tell me how can this be done.
