Invalid Drive H:

I am using Vista Business, as provided in TechNet Plus.

Whenever I try to install or uninstall many software packages (include the
monthly TechNet update!), I get an error that says "Invalid Drive H:" and the
(un)install routine fails.

We do use an H: drive at work, and I get this error even when connected to
the network and have full access to the H: drive.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Is your drive a local or an Network drive? If it is a network drive do you
know that you have access to it before your try and install anything to it?
 
H: drive is what we use as our "home drive" at work. All users have full
access to their H: drives. I'm also the Enterprise Admin, so I've got Full
Access rights to everyone's H: drive anyway, not just my own. :-)

I've verified that I have Full Access to the H: drive before starting an
(un)installation routine that ends up failing. It has happened with TechNet,
as well as with two or three other apps that I have tried to install or
uninstall.

Windows is on my C: drive, though. I only have H: drive set up for personal
file storage on the network.

Now, I do have My Docs redirected to the H: drive, synchronized and set for
offline use. But I don't see where that would be causing a problem, since I
can fully access H: drive when I'm in the office.

Have exactly the same issue when installing Nero 7. Gives me an
'Invalid Drive O:" error. Where O: drive is a redirected Home Drive set
in the Active Directory user profile.
Have no issues writing to my own folder normally. We do have file type
restrictions (audio/video), could this be the problem?
 
Having the same problem, has anyone figured out a fix?

Hard for anyone to help if you snip the portion of the post that
describes the problem. Hint: not everyone reads every post, in fact
most people don't, so a lot of people won't have a clue what you're
talking about.
