Invalid Drive error on XP Pro upgrades

[onpnt]

Morning to all

I'm planning to upgrade upwards of 400+ machines in the coming weeks and I'm receiving some fits to say the least from Win XP Pro. 2K doesn't give me any problems as other situations have shown.

When hitting a machine with the 6.5 msi I receive a
Product: Lotus Notes 6.5 -- Error 1327.Invalid Drive: u:\

The U drive is a mapped drive on the network where each user holds their data directory. This was done for abilities for the users to be floating users on all PC's long ago. I'd like to change it but I am unable to now.

I was wondering if there was a switch to specify the data directory or such. seems odd that when I run the actual setup manually on a workstation that it does pick up the U drive in the wizard and allows the upgrade. I'm using WinINSTALL though and going to each pc of course is not a choice.

We're going from 5 to 6.5 also.

Thanks for the hand
