Problem:
Today I experienced a funny issue when installing an application.
The installation guide told me to create a network mapping to a file share on a server and use it as the target path for the installation.
However, when I came to the point to configure the installation path… the network mapping was not available.
It was showing the local disks, DVD drive… but no network mapping.
Cause
After some searching I found that some applications that use .NET experience this issue.
Resolution
1) Close the installation wizard.
2) Search for caspol.exe (located somewhere in C:\Windows\WinSxS)
2) Open an elevated command prompt.
3) Goto the path of caspol.exe
4) Execute the following command (example! replace the url): CasPol.exe -m -ag 1.2 -url file://\\fileserver01/f$/Applications/* FullTrust
