It is common for our users to install our software to a shared folder on a network drive, which we map to a drive letter on Windows.
When running our installer on Windows Server 2012, on the Select Installation Location screen, we are not able to see any mapped drives in the dialog box. If we attempt to enter a path on the mapped drive directly into the text field, we get an error complaining about write permissions.
However, we do not see this behavior on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. We are able to successfully select and install to a mapped drive on these OSes.
Has anyone encountered this before? I can't tell if this is a bug in InstallAnywhere 2012 or a Windows Server 2012 idiosyncrasy we need to work around.
We're using IA2012 Enterprise Build 4930.
