    First of all, please read the following (so you are prepared if your mapped drive scenario causes problems):

    Unfortunately, I don't know any simple way to check if a remote drive is located on the local machine.

    Here is what I have done so far.
    If drive is REMOTE then compare its FREE SPACE with the FREE SPACE on Drive C and Drive D. And if SPACE is equal, then I assume the remote drive is on local PC.

    Before you say it, yes I know this is horrible.

    Just curious, why do you have to do this at all <g>?

    Historic reasons. Old installer would only install onto drive letter. Windows7 doesn't like anyone sharing the root directory of a drive. Quick fix was to share a folder and then map it as a drive letter. Manuals written describing this. My installation looks for existing app and if found offers to Update it rather than install new. So to start with I am just recreating all the installations using SetUpBuilder. THEN I will look at redesigning the whole thing.
    I bet you are sorry you asked <g>
