Error trying to install B2TR on Vista RC2 5477

[mipsen]

Hello everyone,

there have been many posts about installation issues but non of the answers
seem to apply to my installation problem with B2TR.
I tried to install B2TR on Vista RC2 Build 5477 running on a VPC (VPC 2007
Beta).
Office2007 Beta is installed and activated. I must admit this is all very
beta... ;-)
When I start the installation of B2TR I get a MessageBox: "The Parameter is
incorrect". And thats it.
Can anyone help me?

Let me see, running a beta office on a beta windows on a beta VPC... Wonder why there are problems, eh?

How much free disk space do you have on your beta install of Windows?

Thank you for writing.
Well, you're right with the betas... ;-)
Free diskspace: 12.9 GB
The installation not even starts. The MessageBox appears directly after
confirming that you allow the program to run.

I found the solution...
The drive I started B2TR from was a mapped drive.
When I copied the file to the "local" drive of the VPC and started the
installation it worked.
Futile mistake...
