I have a customer who is installing Visual Studio.NET 2002 and during the
main setup the installation fails with the error message:

Could not configure namespace for Application Center Test. The system tried
to delete the substitution of a drive that is not substituted. (0x00000089)

This install is coming from a network share.  Since the error message deals
with drives I had the user attempt to unmap all network drives and attempt
the installation again with no success.  The customer has Windows 2000 Pro
SP4.  Here are the lines from the windows installer log where the error
occurs:
