Error executing service - Could not find installed GoogleDrive server

[datacom...@kingsalmon.co.nz]

Successfully built the NSIS installer that correctly installs the drive proxy and shell extensions to the following locations

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Drive Shell Extension

C:\Program Files\Google\Google Drive Shell Extension

C:\Program Files (x86)\<mycompany>\Drive Proxy Service

I have confirmed via the Drive Proxy Test project that API credentials are correct and can successfully browse files through this test harness.

But the only log file I can find at 

C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Google\Drive Fusion\Logs

is repeatedly outputting the following when I attempt to access the shell extension drive in My Computer

Google Drive Shell Extension(1572) - Sat Sep 19 13:13:35 2015 - !!ERROR!! - Error executing service - Could not find installed GoogleDrive server

Google Drive Shell Extension(1572) - Sat Sep 19 13:13:35 2015 - !!ERROR!! - Could not find installed GoogleDrive server

Could you explain how the shell extension is referencing the drive proxy server exe? At least that might give me a head start looking at the code rather than trawling through the whole solution trying to find it. Or alternatively, what's the best point in the shell extension to set a break and attach a debugger so I can see what it's trying to do and why it's unable to locate the proxy?

The problem is that the shell extension expects the proxy service to be installed in the same parent directory. "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Drive Shell Extension" should be "C:\Program Files\<mycompany>\Google Drive Shell Extension". The code looking for the service is in "google-drive-shell-extension/DriveFusion/Service.cpp" line 181, method Service::_GetGoogleDriveFilePath. It reads the dll location from the registry and replaces the end to get the service.

This is a defect in the installer project and ProjectConfig.txt. To fix for your use, open "google-drive-shell-extension/DriveFusion.Installer/Product.wxs" and in line 48, replace <Directory Id="Google" Name="Google"> with <Directory Id="<mycompany>" Name="<mycompany>">.

You should also replace lines 102 and 115. Where it says Google, replace with <mycompany>.
