Path \\ServerName\ShareName is not available for installing. Try another path.
- When you try to install the 2007 Office suite or program to mapped network drive
Network, CDROM, and RAM drives are not supported install paths. Choose a folder located on a fixed disk or removable drive.

and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
