You can edit the "winpoint.ini" under the c:/WINDOWS folder and change all the loads from "c:" to "m:". I ran into this problem a few times when some of my users had multiple partitions and changed their primary drive from c: to something else.

Hardcoding to C: drive was an unintended issue when we converted the old install to a MSI-based package. This issue will be fixed in the 6.2 release, due out in September.

The developers for whatever reason have hard coded C: into the setup msi file. Was it a mistake? I don't know but here is how to get around it.

1. Download and install the Microsoft Windows SDK from the Microsoft download page. You'll need to do this from a Windows Server 2003 or XP machine. If you use Vista the wrong SDK will be downloaded.

2. After installing the SDK install the file \Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin\orca.msi

3. Copy the contents of the Point CD to a folder on your hard drive.

4. Rename the file point.msi to something else like point-old.msi.

5. Run the Orca program from your Start Menu and open the file point-old.msi.

6. In the Tables pane on the left side of the program scroll down to the Property table.

7. On the right pane look for the following attributes and change the c to the drive letter you are installing on.

DIRPROPERTY1 old value = C:\ (change the C to your system drive, mine is M)
MDACINSTALLCMD.5D1BD0D5_2526_11D4_BB8A_00C04F20D375 old value = /q /c:"setup.exe /qn1"
new value = /q /m:"setup.exe /qn1"

8. from the file menu choose save as... and save it to point.msi (be sure to save it to the root of the folder you copied the point installation CD to).

9. run the point.msi file on your Citrix server.

I hope this helps everyone!!

Map a network drive from drive M to drive C.

Hope that helps.

I have a strange one for you folks.

My Citrix Server is setup with no C: but we used an M: as the root instead. This was to serve the purpose of when the clients log in, their C: is actually mapped as their C:.

Now, this creates a problem when installing point because something in the preinstall routine is looking for hardware information for C:. I haven't been able to get around it. Can someone shed some light on this issue please?

Thanks
Todd
