Modify Cmc.msi to point to the desired drive location.

Issue

When running Cmc.msi on a server or workstation with remapped drives, you may receive the following error message:

"1327 invalid drive c:\."

The error occurs because the Cmc.msi has a hardcoded path, c:\program files, as the target directory. See MicroSoft TechNet articles Q290356 and Q217666 for a similar issue with .msi files and Microsoft Office products.

Resolution

1. Use Orca editor, in accordance with Q255905 , to modify the .msi file and point the target path to %systemroot%\program files.

2. Open Cmc.msi and save it with a different filename.

3. Select the Property pane in the left column. You will see a TargetDir option in the right window. Double-click C:\Program Files\ and change to %SystemRoot%\Program Files\.

4. Place the .msi file in the same location as the original Cmc.msi file.

5. Run Add/Remove Programs and reference your modified .msi file. If this fails, repeat Steps 1-4 and change the drive letter from C:\ to the server drive letter.
