SYMPTOMS
When you install a package that was created by using the Package and Deployment Wizard, mapped drive information is not displayed in the Change Directory dialog box. Only local drive information is listed.



RESOLUTION
Manually type the physical path in the Path text box in the Change Directory dialog box.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

 * 1) Start any Office Application.
 * 2) Open the Visual Basic Editor.
 * 3) On the Add-ins menu, click Package and Deploy Wizard.
 * 4) Follow the directions in the wizard to create a standard package.
 * 5) Create a mapped drive on the target computer.
 * 6) Double-click Setup.exe in the Setup package to start installation on the computer with the mapped drive.
 * 7) Click Next until the Change Directory button becomes available, and then click it, and select the mapped drive in the drive list.

Note that the Directories and Path boxes are not updated to display information about the mapped drive. They both still point to a local drive.
