Keywords: application not launching
If the user tries to launch Windows from the mapped W:\ drive, then Windows runs, but the application will not run. A message is displayed that the "INI file is not found". If the user runs from the actual G:\WinUser\UserID then the application will run fine.
This a kinda common bug in a few applications. What happens is this:
The application asks for Windows directory name:
Case 1 It gets - W:\ Case 2 It gets - G:\WINUSER\userIDThen it adds a backslash and its INI file name to it:
Case 1 It gets - W:\\APP.INI Case 2 It gets - G:\WINUSER\userID\APP.INIWell, you can see that in case 1, because it was not expecting a root directory, it built an invalid file name with two slashes in it, whereas with the other name, everything came out rosy.
