Error 1606 when running installer v 8.05

Hello All,

I am trying to run the 8.05 installer on an XP laptop that is sometimes connected to a network with a domain login (yuck) - but is not currently connected. When I run the 8.05 installer I get the message like 'Error 1606. Could not access network location \\server\user$\foo\my documents\.'

Now, it would appear that the installer is working out what my windows domain home directory is and is trying to access there. This is not what I want, as I don't want to connect to the domain just to run this installer plus I would like the app to run when disconnected from the network. Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

A linux version of the software would work for me as well .....

Thanks for any help,
Brett

Thanks ylp88 - the second URL that you gave has done the trick. I just replaced the server name and path with %USERPROFILE% where it appeared and all is now good. The software appears to have installed fine.
