>Organization:
apache
>Environment:
Windows 98, 4.10.1998
>Description:
When I try to install apache_1.3.17-win32-no_src.msi and specify installation directory not a "C:\Program Files\Apache Group" by pressing "Change..." button,  MSI installer says "The volume C: is currently unavailable. Please select another", then finishes installation procedure without any copying etc.

If I install it into "C:\Program Files\Apache Group", installation proceeds fine.

The version of MSI installer I use is downloaded from links on apache.org download page.
>How-To-Repeat:
I think, you can repeat it with selecting "Custom" setup and changing installation directory.
>Fix:
Throw away that buggy MicroShaft(r) installer. Or, release addition zip-package to win32-versions.

The resolution to your report, and then some, are available for testing from

http://dev.apache.org/dist/binaries/apache_1.3.19-win32-no_src-rc4.msi
http://dev.apache.org/dist/binaries/apache_1.3.19-win32-src-rc4.msi

Thorough testing is needed, please ack/nak if this succeeds for you, and
any problems you observe.

Thanks much!
