Bug report: "Invalid drive G:" on installation

[Egor Nepomnyaschih]

I have the next hard drive structure:

• C: (NTFS) - Windows XP System Drive
• H: (NTFS)
• I: (NTFS)

Also there are the next drives:

• E: DVD-RW
• J: Virtual DVD-ROM

Steps:

• Download "TortoiseSVN-1.6.2.16344-win32-svn-1.6.2.msi" from your site
• Run

Actual result:

• See message "Invalid Drive G:"
• Installation wizard shows finish step
• TortoiseSVN isn't installed
  

Expected result:

• Start installation

I've found a way to force TortoiseSVN be installed in this situation:

Steps:

• Go to Administration -> Computer Administration -> Drive Management
• Change H: Drive letter to G:
• Run installation wizard
• Install TortoiseSVN to drive C:
• Reboot
• Change G: Drive letter to H:
• Reboot

Result:

• TortoiseSVN works

Can you try running the installation with
msiexec.exe /i Tor...msi /lv log.txt
and check the log file it produces. You must have somewhere a reference
to the drive G on your system which msi requires. For example, msi
checks all user paths (e.g., "my documents", ...) on start and if one is
missing (which it shouldn't) you'll get that error.
