I have a user of a windows forms dotnet application, which is
installed using WI, who is unable to install the application.

She gets an error message: 'The installer was interrupted before [Name
Of aplication] could be installed. You need to restart the installer
to try again'

The user's PC has a split hard drive (C: and D: drives). C: is
formatted to NTFS and houses the OS; D: is formatted to FAT32 and
hosues the users data.

Other formum messages have suggested that there is a problem using WI
on a Win2000 PC with a split drive if SYSTEM AUTHORITY NT doesnt have
access to the second drive. However it is not possiable to grant such
access to a FAT32 drive.

I am totally out of ideas, so any sugggestions will be greatfully
recieved.

Somehow when the Security property of "Setup.msi" only have my name i
it, the installation will be interrupted.

After I added a "Everyone" account with permissions of "Read" and "Rea
& Execute". The installation problem was gone.

My system: Windows XP with Service Pack
