Access 2003 cannot find administrative install point on network drive, others apps fine

M

Matt Ross

Client: Windows XP Pro SP2 + fully patched with Novell Client 4.91 SP2
Network server: Netware 6.5 SP5

I have a curious problem here. Just installed Office 2003 Professional from
an administrative install point on a Netware mounted network drive. All
other apps work fine but Access says 'The feature you are trying to use is
on a network resource that is unavailable.' It is looking for PRO11.MSI. If
I click Browse... it cannot see any of the three Netware mounted drives I
know are there. Word, Excel and the rest have no problem and load normally.

I have tried doing repairs and reinstalls but still Access will not
acknowledge the network drives. The administrative install point has been
upgraded with SP1, SP2 and KB907417 [apparently not for Access anyway]. Last
year I did this with SP1 only and Access was working fine.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks.
