Invalid E Drive Error Message

updating applications in Windows Posted on January 21, 2011 by Robert Symptoms When trying to install or update an application, you receive an error message similar to the following: Error 1327. Invalid Drive: Z: I've encountered this error 1327 invalid drive windows 7 error installing Google Earth and another application, and it also apparently happens with many

others including Microsoft and Adobe applications. Cause These installers/updaters are failing to access the drive that one of your shell folders is error 1327 invalid drive d on -- probably your Personal folder, ‘My Documents'. This could be because: the hard drive is no longer attached or isn't recognized by the system, or the drive was a mapped network drive that is error 1327 invalid drive autocad no longer mapped, it's a network folder / mapped drive on a computer or server that is not currently available, or it's a network folder / mapped drive that the installer/updater doesn't have access to. Resolutions Cause 1: the drive is no longer attached or mapped Reattach the hard drive or map the folder back to the drive. If you need help with these, ask your administrator or local geek. Alternatively, update

the registry to point your shell folder to a location that exists on a drive that exists. You may follow the directions at either Microsoft or Adobe for updating your registry (they are essentially identical). Cause 2: The network folder is on a computer or server that is not currently available Try again when the server is available (or see #1 above). Cause 3: The installer/updater doesn't have access to the network folder / mapped drive Ok, so this is really why I wrote this article. The second time I encountered this problem I had forgotten that this was the cause and how to fix it. It's seldom mentioned, and it took me a little while to find the solution even the second time around… The drive that your shell folder (again, probably ‘My Documents') is on is a mapped network drive and is connected using your own user account. However, the application installer/updater is running as the Administrative user, which does not have access to your mapped network drives (even if you are an administrative user). The way to resolve this is simple, seamless, and temporary. Let's say that the network folder is \user\Robert LaThanh on a server named FileServer (so the full path would be \\FileServer\user\Robert LaThanh), and it's mapped to the

It is highly likely that the problem is due to your registry keys in your user account going bananas (somehow the key has 'jumped' to the non-existant E: drive instead of the C: drive). To fix the problem, run 'regedit' and browse through your subfolders until you find something along the lines of (will depend on what OS you're running as to the exact path name): My_Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell_Folders And check that all of the shell folder paths start with 'C:' or whatever your usual harddrive is. If any start with E: (or whatever letter is coming up as your error), then change this to C:. Also go to 'User_Shell_Folders' and make sure that it is changed to C: there as well. This ought to give you a permanent solution. (note, if you want to check that the problem IS only specific to your particular user account, try logging on under a different a

In this cases, the operating system could mount the disconnected volume under a new drive letter, thus preventing the update installer to locate the path. Please follow the steps below in order to manually restore the original drive letter. Open the Windows Start menu and right-click the Computer icon. In the menu that opens, choose Manage. This will open the Computer Management panel. In the Computer error 1327 invalid Management panel, select Disk Management from the sidebar. The Volume column in the Disk Management panel contains entries for all volumes available on the computer. Note:In this example, NI Stick (G:) is the volume containing the installation of the Native Instruments product we want to update. Its former drive letter 'F:' has been taken by the new volume USB Stick. We have to assign 'USB Stick' to another letter to make the letter 'F:' available for NI product volume 'NI Stick' again. Right-click the entry of the volume that has taken the letter of your NI product volume and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.... In the window that opens, click the button Change.... In the next window, select a letter from the rear part of the alphabet to make sure both volumes do not interfere with each other again. In our example, we choose Z. Now the original drive letter of the NI product volume is available again. Go back to the Disk Management panel, right-click the entry of your NI product volume and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.... Change the drive letter back to the original one - it is the same letter shown in the error message you received.
