Hello everyone. I know this is off topic but I can't think of any other mailing list that would have answers to MSI application deployment. I have been using MSIs and Group policy objects to deploy applications in Active Directory. I need to create my own MSI applications because a lot of the software is older and discontinued. I use Winstall LE to create the snapshots. I have noticed that shortcuts in the MSI that use the Mapped drive (P:/someappp) are always broken after the MSI installs. The reason for this (I think) is the MSI installs on computer startup, before the login script has run and actually mapped the network drive. I can work around by changing all my shortcuts to use the UNC path (\\server\someapp) but that means that I need to create every MSI at each remote site. If I could get the MSI to work based on the mapped drive then the MSI would be reusable. Anyone know how to record a MSI with shortcuts based on a drive letter that may be invalid at the time of install? Or tell windows not to mark the shortcut as invalid because it is based on the mapped drive?
