Redirect install to different drive

[tmandu]

I have an application that is trying to install from my network drive down to a workstation (win95). The problem is that it is trying to write to drive D on my local and I have no D drive. everytime I try to install I get an error writing to Drive D. I know that in early DOS days you could do an assign d:c (or something like that)

Any thoughts ????

In the old DOS days the command was "SUBST" or something like that to change drive letters. Don't think it works anymore. I may be missing something here, but why can't you specify c: instead of d: when running setup. If it is networkable software, there may be a workstation setup file.
Just a few thoughts.

If you have the application on your server, you could try mapping a network drive on your worksation to the server?

You should be able to find the application directory on the server from explorer on the workstation, right click it and choose map network drive. Provided you don't have a D: drive on the workstation, you should be able to choose that drive.

If you have trouble mapping the drive, try sharing the application directory itself, then map that.
