Hi,
I have built a setup project in Visual Studio.NET 2005, yet when I attempt
to run setup.exe or the msi directly from  the E: drive I get an "Error
reading from file x.msi. Verify that the file exists and that you can access
it." where x is the full path and filename.  If however, I copy the exact
same setup.exe and msi to the C: drive it works just fine.  E: is a protected
drive in my Win XP Pro SP2 system in that only my account and the default
administrator account have access.  What account do MSI's run under such that
they would have problems with this security setup even though I am logged in
with my user account?
Regards
Andy

I had a similar problem.  I added "Everyone" to the MSI files security
properties and gave them full control under permissions.  After that, I
didn't have any trouble running it from different locations.
