Hi Can anyone help me with this? Whilst attempting to install Sound Forge Audio Studio 10, I received the error message Invalid drive: Z: Z:\ is my NAS drive, but as I am not installing to or from this drive (I am installing from the C: to the C:) so I don't even know why the installation program is concerning itself with it, but it stops the installation & I can't get any further. Thanks John Message last edited on3/11/2011 7:45:17 AM byJohnMac. |

We ran into a similar problem with some network drives at our office while doing the SF10c update. We had to completely unmount (disconnect or un-map) the drives to complete the install. Try disconnecting the network drive and doing the install. Then you can remap the drive afterwards. Worth a try. R. Message last edited on3/11/2011 9:24:21 AM byroblesinge. |

Thanks for your reply roblesinge, I must say it's more than Sony can be bothered to do. I sent this query to their technical support on Wed 09 Mar & they haven't replied so far. Anyway I've found a solution, I had the same problem updating Adobe Reader, and found the answer immediately on their support website. It works a treat & is a lot less hassle than disconnecting/unmapping network drives. So here it is: Invalid Drive Z: Solution: 1. Launch the command prompt. * Windows XP: Click Start > Run, type cmd, then click OK. * Windows Vista and Windows 7: 1. Click Start, type cmd, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 2. Type subst Z: "C:\Windows" and press Enter. Note: Replace Z: with the drive letter from the installation. 3. Run the installation again. Afterwards, to remove virtual path, type: subst Z: /d |
