Error 1327 Invalid drive: G:\ when I try to install a program

• Error Code 1327 Invalid Drive Z:\ when you try to install a program

  I found this solution to the question on the forum

  1. Check that the values under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders use valid drive letters.
  2. If there is no valid drive letters, change them to point to valid readers
  3. Try to install the software and check if that helps.

  This method works.  I changed the references to the Z drive in the registry and I am able to install the program.

  However, drive Z is not an invalid drive.  I have mapped a network drive to Z:\ and changed the place of My Documents, my music and my pictures in a folder on Z:\.

  Am I destined to temporarily change my registry keys whenever I want to install or uninstall a program?  There must be a better solution.

  I guess when you install a program, you get a UAC prompt to raise. This will switch you to another opening of session with a full administrator token. Information on mapped drives are specific to each logon when the high performance you do not see the drives mapped unelevated session.

  It's quite complicated so, rather than give a long explanation, I suggest you watch the following presentation addresses this question in the section from 49 minutes. The mapped drives is discussed 53 minutes.

  http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2012/SIA311

  I guess right here - try the drive mapping in a command prompt before starting the installation.

  Or use the full name of the network in the folder redirection instead of the mapped drive letter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/redirect-a-folder-to-a-new-location

  Or let your user files in their default location and add folders to the network disk libraries

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library

  Which of them is practical depends on the nature of the network drive.

  I've done an update for a long time on an old computer unused spare XP and Windows Update said that he had to update a large number of files, so I have left to download and install.  Once the 45 updates completed, I rebooted as instructed and proceeded to clean a lot of old data.  Apparently I deleted (7) files for Office M/S that must be installed, because the Winows Update icon in the status bar telling me I had 7 sto update to install.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader Installation Error 1327: invalid drive mapped to a user folder

  Try to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 8 so that I can make the PDF Renseignez form (which doesn't seem to work with the default player Win8 app). I get the following error in the installation of Adobe:

  Error 1327.Invalid Drive: P:\ mapped to a user folder. The drive does not exist or could not be connected. You can disconnect the drive or reassign the drive letter. For more information, see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404946.html

  Any ideas?

  I know this post is very old, but it is the top google result when searching on this question, so I thought that a useful response would be in order.  I also had this problem, but I discovered the problem in the way I had my place set for My Documents, my pictures, etc..

  Short answer, you must use UNC paths for mapping.

  Longer answer - like you, I have a House (in my case sup) drive connected to my network of the company.  So, I can navigate to U:\Documents.  I had put the location of my documents (and other user files) to U:\Documents, well it worked most of the time it's really not the right way to do it.  If you open your drive mapped in file Explorer, the window title bar will show you the UNC patch.  It will look something like this: yourUsername (\\servername\home$).  Set the location of your My Documents, etc. to match - for example, to \\servername\home$\yourUsername\Documents

  Note that you can not change just the My Documents - you must fix all of your user files that point to a network drive letter (C:\Users\blah bla... is fine) in the format of a UNC path instead.  Then re-run the installation of acrobat and you should be golden.  If the foregoing makes no sense to you, or you do not have the required privileges on your workstation, talk to your resource and they will be able to sort it out for you.
