Error 1327.invalid drive: C:\ when trying to install

My computer crashed a while back and when I set up the new drive, the new root drive is "G:\" instead of "C:\". how can I get palm software to setup on "G"? if that is what I need to do.

What to do
You can use the "subst" DOS command to substitute the drive letter C: for the actual system drive.
Determine the drive letter of your system drive. If you did not set up your computer yourself, you may need to contact your IT department or a PC expert for help.
Close all running application on your PC, including the Palm Desktop installation wizard.
From the Windows Start menu, select Run.
Type cmd and click OK. Note: if you are using Windows 98 or 95, type command instead.
The command window appears. Type subst c: {system drive letter}:\ where {system drive letter} is the drive letter of the bootable or system drive on your Windows PC. For example, if your system drive is P:, the command would look like subst c: p:\
Hit Enter.
Close the command window.
Install the Palm Desktop software. It should work now.

Error 1327.Invalid Drive: J:\ - When trying to install itunes on a laptop?

I am trying to install itunes from apple.com on my laptop so my daughters can use my cd drive to transfer music from their CD's to their Ipod's.
Any idea why the above error message comes up when I try and run the exe file?
I've searched this forum but can't find a similar error discussion.
Is there a complete error list available here?
Thanks,

MSI installer closes with error 1327, Invalid drive on Win 7 Ultimate when My Documents is moved to a network drive

I have several computers with Windows 7 Ultimate installed here at the Pioneer Library System. We have ~20 workstations running XP Pro on a Active Directory domain and are planning on rolling out Windows 7 this fall. I am running Windows 7 to test our programs
(have since RC1) but I am running into an issue when installing software.
The problem I am running into is that when I try to install any program that uses the MSI installer on Windows 7 , it fails with a 1327 error at the point where it is preparing to install and says "Invalid Drive H:\".
All the users in our domain have the "Home Folder" on their active directory profile set to
H:\ (which is mapped to \\PrimaryDC\user$ in the same place). We have also moved the
C:\Users\user\Documents folder to H:\ so as to keep all documents on the server where they get backed up regularly.
If I move "Documents" back to C:\Users\user\Documents the MSI installer works fine. When I look into the registry as suggested in
this thread I found that in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders " and in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders " the key "Personal" points to "H:\".
But, H:\ is a valid connected network drive. Installing from the same account on an XP computer with
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents moved to the H:\ drive works fine.
I have tried setting up another 7 machine and get exactly the same results on it.
Is there a workaround for this besides creating a admin account that does not have Documents mapped to the network drive
H:\ to use for installing programs?
Thanks

I do not have the option with some of these files to pass parameters to the MSI installer. For example, if I download the Acrobat Reader installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe and run AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe
it extracts the MSI file to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files and then runs it.
To reproduce this an a Windows 7 computer (does not have to be on a domain):
Prep Work:
Create a user (test1)
Create a folder on the root of C (C:\Test)
Set permissions on C:\Test to allow the test1 user to have full access to it
Share the C:\Test folder as test1 (again, set the permissions to allow the test1 user full access)
Set the "Home Folder" for the test1 user connect to Z: and point that to \\127.0.0.1\test1
Login as test1
Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
Check that it works:
Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
Note that it works
Uninstall Acrobat Reader 9.3 using "Programs and Features"
Break it:
Login as test1
Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
Go to C:\Users\test1
Right click on the Documents folder and click on properties
Click on the Location tab
Click on "Browse" and select the Z drive
Allow Windows to move the files to the new location
Check that it is broken:
Check that you have access to the new Documents folder at Z:\
Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
Note that it extracts itself to C:\Users\test1\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files
and runs the MSI installer from there
Note that after the MSI installer is started it pops up an error saying Error: 1327, Invalid drive Z:\.
I also see this with various other install programs (VMWare vSphere Client, VMWare Player and Kaspersky Antivirus for example)
Is there any reason why this should not work? Is there something that I should be doing differently?
Thanks

Error 1327 invalid Drive: E:\ appears when I try to install adobe reader, can anyone help?

Hi Coralienz,
Can you please check the value of the registry entries at the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In case the values for any of the entries (i.e. Common AppData, Common Desktop, Common Documents etc.) is referencing to E:\, change the value back to look something like below and you should be good to go.

Network drives and System Update updating itself (Error 1327.Invalid Drive)

I have a Windows network share permanently mapped as a network drive on my system. This prevents Lenovo System Update 5 from updating itself.
Here is what happens:
Launch Lenovo System Update and click Next to look for updates.
When 'Searching for agent updates' it will tell me: 'System Update is updating itself. Your copy of System Update needs to be updated. Click OK to begin updating System Update.'
Click OK, Lenovo System Update will download the update and appear to install it.
At the end it will tell me: 'System Update was installed successfully'
Click Close, just to be sure I wait for a while so System Update can finish whatever it is doing in the background (if anything at all).
When nothing appears to happen I launch Lenovo System Update manually and it will tell me it needs to update itself again, and go to the same process as above. The update did not install successfully at all. System update keeps updating itself in a loop.
Next thing I tried is manually downloading the latest System Update version from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
I downloaded systemupdate503-09-17-2013.exe for my Windows 7 machine.
The installer detects to old version of System Update and offers to uninstall that. I click Yes.
A moment later the real error appears: 'Error 1327.Invalid Drive: S:\'
The only thing I can do now is press OK to close the installer.
The S:\ drive is my network drive which is permanently mapped to a share on my NAS.
It is not an invalid drive, S:\ opens fine in Windows Explorer.
I don't know why the System Update installer wants to access my S: drive in the first place. All my applications are installed on C:. While I did move some special folders like My Pictures and My Videos to S:, the relevant folders My Documents and Desktop are still on C:.
I have found a workaround to the problem above:
Close Lenovo System Update completely when it says it needs to update itself.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator (find it in the start menu, righ-click it and 'Run as administrator').
Type 'subst s: c:\' without the quotes. Replace s: with the drive letter of your network drive, and c: should be an existing regular drive.
Now run Lenovo System Update again and let it update itself.
You'll notice System Update now restarts itself after updating and there are no problems.
Once you are done with System Update, type 'subst s: /D' to delete the substituted virtual drive. Don't worry, this will not delete your actual network drive.
The workaround does the job, but it would be nice to see an actual fix from Lenovo. I have a ThinkPad X230 running 64bit Windows 7 Professional if this is relevant.

Please try either of the workaround.
1. Create a new Admin user, log on in that and then you can install Adobe Reader,
or
2. easier solution is just create a dummy folder on your machine anywhere, lets says Folder name "Dummy" in c:\
not go to command prompt
and type subst I: c:\dummy
and you are all set to go.
once you are done, you can remove that virtual drive mapping by
subst I:\ /d
please let me know if works.

Where are you trying to install it to? A Network Drive or Flash Drive?

1327 Invalid Drive thrown when Drive is completely Valid

I have mapped my "My Documents" folder as Z:\Documents, with the remote directory marked for "always available offline" for many years. This practice lets me carry "My Documents" around on my laptop, and have my changes automatically updated to the server and backed up when I have network access. Up until now, this has caused no problems with ANY software from any vendor, including Autodes, Cadence, Microsoft, etc. It didn't cause problems with Acrobat, either, before I mistakenly updated to XI. The worthless online help gave silly solutions like temporarily remapping the drive (would break "Mu Documents", or changing the privilege of SYSTEM (already Full Control).
What stupid thing has Adobe done that can't handle My Documents being on a mapped drive, and how do I get around it without logging out and logging back in as the local admin every time I want to update this defective product?

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?
Have tried the MS fixit tool with no success.
There doesn't seem to be a simple fix other than the complicated manual registry changes I have seen.
Thank you.

Pat:
Yes, this is where I saw the article detailing the MS "fixit" link...that didn't do it (other than removing Reader for me. The rest of the fixes I see involved either modifying the registry in some way all the way up to completely re-installing the system software (which is kind of tough as I bought the HP computer with Windows 8 already installed).
I am not keen to try modifying the registry...
I agree, it has nothing to do with Reader but thought this has probably affected many others which is why I posted here.
Thanks.

Rasco1 it sounds like your managed network needs to be configured to allow you to download successfully. You can find more details in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763
