Invalid Drive C:\ Message

I have a windows 2003 terminal server that needed to have the Drive C changed to Drive X for a special application to run under terminal services.  When I try to install Crystal Reports XI Runtime i get "Invalid Drive c:\".
How do i get Crystal Reports to install to drive X?

Noting that you said;
"When I try to install Crystal Reports XI Runtime ..."
I moved your thread to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
I may be wrong, but let me know the following;
What CR SDK are you using?
What version of CR?
What runtime are you trying to deploy?
How are you deploying the runtime?

  • "Invalid Drive X:\" install errors

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

    While upgrading or uninstalling a Windows software package (such as iTunes for Windows or QuickTime for Windows), you may receive the following error message:
    Invalid Drive X:\
    ... where the red X:\ could be any drive letter (F, H, J, or so on.) Usually you won't actually have a drive with that particular drive letter on your system.
    Typically, this is caused by a problem with an installer database entry for a component for the software package. The installer database believes that the component is on the X:\ drive. When your Windows Installer goes to remove that component from the X:\ drive while uninstalling the existing version of the software and doesn't find any drive there at all it gets horribly confused and you get the "Invalid Drive" message.
    If that is what is afoot with your "Invalid Drive X:\" message, here are a couple of possible resolutions for the problem. If at all possible, attempt resolution 1 prior to trying resolution 2.
    1. Temporarily add an X:\
    drive to your system.
    2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
    1. Temporarily add an X:\
    drive to your system.
    So long as you actually have an X:\ drive on your system, your Windows Installer will typically remain relatively calm during the uninstall of the existing software (even if it can't find the component it was looking for on the drive in question). So one way of getting past an "Invalid drive X:\" message is to temporarily add an X:\ drive to your system.
    An easy way to create the missing drive X: (thanks to turingtest2)
    Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
    Type in SUBST X: C:\<enter>
    This will map X: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST X: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
    Otherwise, you will need an external hard drive, a thumb drive, an iPod in manual mode, or any other storage device that appears as a hard drive in "My Computer" (on Windows XP) or "Computer" (on Windows Vista or Windows 7).
    Connect the drive to your computer. (If you are using an iPod, and iTunes for Windows launches, quit iTunes.) Open My Computer (on Windows XP) or Computer (on Windows Vista or Windows 7). Check to see what drive letter has been assigned to the drive.
    If the drive letter for the drive you added matches the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
    If the drive letter for the drive you added does not match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message, try using Disk Management to change the drive letter of the drive you added so that it does match the drive letter being given in the "Invalid Drive X:\" message.
    (1) In your Start menu, right-click My Computer (on XP) or Computer (on Vista or 7), and select Manage.
    (2) In Computer Management, click Disk Management.
    (3) Right-click the drive you attached to your computer and select Change Drive Letters and Paths ...
    (4) Click Change ...
    (5) In the drop-down menu, select the letter that appears in your "Invalid Drive X:\" error message.
    (6) Click OK.
    (7) In the dialog box that comes up, click Yes.
    (8) Close Computer Management.
    (9) Try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the X:\ drive.)
    2. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation database for the software you're getting the Invalid Drive X:\ message with.
    If it isn't feasible to add a drive to your system, you can also get past an "Invalid Drive X:\" error message by using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
    (1) Click here first, and read the important information about the utility.
    (2) Click the Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
    (3) Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
    (4) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (5) Select the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for from the list and click Remove.
    (6) Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
    (7) If you have multiple entries for the software you're getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message for, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other entries for the software.
    (8) Click Exit.
    (9) Restart the computer.
    If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when trying to upgrade software, now try reinstalling the latest version of the software.
    If you were getting the "Invalid Drive X:\" message when just trying to uninstall software, program files for the software in question will remain on the PC after it has been removed by the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you want to remove leftover program files, check in at the appropriate forum at Apple Discussions and ask which files can be safely removed.

    Hi turingtest2 & b noir,
    Sorry about the delay in getting this out. Has this been tested then? Is there even a good way to test it when the user doesn't have admin privileges?
    How would you like it integrated into the tip? How does this look?

  • Error Message...Invalid Drive E when loading ITunes

    I have tried to download ITunes for 3 days straight, I keep getting an error message that I have an invalid Drive E. I have done disk clean up, defrag, cleaned out cookies and temp files, what else can I do? Does anyone else get this message? I am dying to use my new phone but I can not unlock or register it.

    Bissley,
    I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
    Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
    If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:

    Hi there guys,
    really hope someone can help.
    As stated on the subject line, after I have downloaded itunes 7.7 (either from the itunes site or through itunes update checker), when I attempt to run the setup, it gives the message 'Invalid drive: E:\'. It then says itunes installer completed, that errors were encountered and to try again later.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,

  • Invalid Drive G:/ error message when trying to download I-Tunes 9

    I have had problems trying to download the last two versions of I-Tunes but as my ipod classic was working wasn't bothering.
    I just recieved an Ipod Nano 5th Generation for Christmas and when I plug into computer states that it needs newer version of I-Tunes.
    I go through all the process then just at the end of installing I get a message saying 'invalid drive:/G'
    I can't use my new ipod or get the latest version of I-Tunes as get error message every time.
    HELP !

    Hi Any,
    I have been getting a similar error when it gets to the quicktime phase, it says invalid G drive.
    I found some help on the web that if you go to start and run at the command prompt, type the following: "Subst G: C:\". This gets me further in the installation, but I end up getting an error that says "the specified path is too long G:\lib". At that time, my only option is to cancel out. I have tried starting in my dock with external drive plugged in and thumb drive too to avoid having to use the SUBST command. When I do it this way, I get a different error, 2869.
    I have tried just installing quicktime separately, but does not work either. Give it a try, maybe it will work for you differently. let me know your outcome, maybe you will encounter something that will help me too.

  • When trying to update my version of itunes, the installer quits and I get a message of "Invalid drive /F:"

  • Invalid Drive: H:\ error message when downloading iTunes 8.0.2

    For some time now, I've been trying to upgrade to the 8.0.2 version of iTunes. I get almost to the end, when I get an error message that says "Invalid Drive: H:\" and then I can't download it. I've tried to figure out the problem, but I have no idea what to do. I'm afraid to remove iTunes altogether and then try downloading it because I don't know if I'll be able to download it then, and if I can't then I won't have the program at all. Any suggestions?

    If you are having problems, it is best not to use "Upgrade" in iTunes. DOwnload the installer from the APple site:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    SAve the installer onto your desktop rather than running it from your browser.
    Then you can upgrade manually using the installer you saved.
    That won't solve your problem, but it simplifies things.
    You can often get round the invalid drive message by providing iTunes with the drive while you are installing. DO you know what comes up as drive H:, maybe a camera or external drive?
    If you don't have something that comes up as H:, maybe you could plug in a memory stick and allocate drive H: to it.
    This article about something else contains instructions for allocating a drive letter.

  • Installer fails: message invalid drive

    Hi Everybody,
    I have a strange behaviour during XE installation. On one PC (Win2000 SVP4) which has an unformatted partition and no drive D: the installer fails with the message: Invalid drive D: When assigning the CDROM drive to drive D: the installation works.
    Has somebody run into the same problem or any ideas?

    Hi Konstantin,
    the problem is that we have to install XE on many different PC's, which all have individual setups and configurations. Not speeking of different OS and different language versions. But as Oracle claims to be compatible to alomst anything we are doing it.
    So we run into one problem after the other as you can see.
