SYMPTOMS
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

When you are installing an application created with the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE) or the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT), the default drive for installation is always drive C, even if you designate a different drive as the default in the ODE or ADT Setup Wizard.



CAUSE
The Setup program automatically chooses the first available hard disk for the default installation drive. If no local hard disk is available, Setup chooses the first available network drive.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Run the Setup Wizard using the sample database Northwind.mdb (or NWIND.MDB in version 2.0) as your custom application. In the ODE 97 or ADT version 7.0:

When you are prompted: "What folder should your custom Setup program suggest as the default for your application's installation?," type the following line:

R:\TEST

In Microsoft Access Developers Toolkit version 2.0:

In the Default Installation Directory box, type the following line:

R:\TEST

 When the Setup Wizard is finished, run the custom Setup program. Note that Setup uses drive C as the default installation drive instead of drive R.
