[wix-users] cannot set permissions to Config.msi on subst-Drive

[Rob Mensching]

The Windows Installer very much dislikes subst drives. Long standing deficiency. Installing from network drives okay. Installing to network drives not so good.

Subject: [wix-users] cannot set permissions to Config.msi on subst-Drive

Hello,

I'm stuck with following problem  ,,,

I have a subst drive to avoid long path names.

For test; O:\: => C:\bla

During Setup I create some Folders there and install some data files (initial sqlite databases).
Install went well.

On uninstall I get the error
  "cannot set permissions on o;\Config.msi".

I can work around this with:

cacls "C:\bla\Config.Msi" /T /E /C /G administrators:F

BTW: cacls "O\Config.Msi" /T /E /C /G administrators:F
     does not work.

Is there any thing I can do to avoid this problem?
Is it possible, that this problem pop up on network drives too?

I am using Wix 3.10

Thank you for your help
