[WiX-users] Installation directory must be on a local hard drive. error
A client is getting this error when installing an updated version of our installer: Installation directory must be on a local hard drive. They're getting this message even though they're installing onto their C drive.

Here's the log file from the failed install.

The .msi is downloaded from our website, and I don't have access to the client's computer. The client that last reported this problem has his AV scanner disabled. I'll ask him if he's running it from a network share. What are the circumstances when it fails? Perhaps there is another process locking the file open? I have seen this error occasionally when I try to open a package that is on a network share with orca. I presume that there is an AV scanner running on the server locking the file open.
