I'm running W7 on Fusion 3.01, working in software QA. I keep running into a problem where W7 converts my drive mapping (M:\SWL) to a UNC path (
vmware-host\Shared Folders\SWL)
Under normal conditions, I don't think this would cause a problem, but I'm installing software with very deep folder structure, and as the installer attempts to pull from the shared folder, it fails on some of the longer paths, claiming files cannot be found even though they are present and even browsable within the W7 environment. Our crack install team tells me it's something in our code related to a 256-character path, but cannot offer a fix on that end.
Is there any way to make the UNC name shorter or the mapping stick? I'm pretty sure I just need a few letters, but this is really killing my work right now.
Thanks for any inisight you can offer!
