UNC from drive letter

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,

I'm trying to get the UNC path from a drive letter and it always returns
zero. Here's a test script where for example, have Z: mapped to
\\server\test. If I enter Z:\ for the drive letter or select from folder
browse, it returns zero. Testing in XP Pro and Vista. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks,
Larry Sand

Hi Larry -

Did you intend to attach a script?

Dang, where is that DWIM button?

Thanks Jeff.

Larry,

I'll test it later today. We are just moving some machines to Vista-64....

Definitely an installer bug. We'll make a hotfix (KB0706131) available

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks Friedrich. Works on my machine as Admin.

Does it work with lesser privileges?

Works perfectly now!

Thank you, Jeff.

Yes, it should. The installer function wraps around the WNetGetConnection
API function.

Microsoft does not mention any privilege restrictions.
