Hi @yuyoyuppe. Not sure either. What I can say is that I'm not an admin on my maschine. Furthermore I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise, not Windows 11. I also did not use the user installer, but the normal "system" one.
I assume the user has access to that share?

Hi @yuyoyuppe, not sure if this helps...
I'm using Window 10, in Explorer, mount a Network share as a Drive (J: in my case), view the properties of My Documents folder and select the "Location" tab and "Move" the folder to the Mounted drive (or sub-dir on the mount).
Attempt to install an update >0.79.0, either from the PowerToys Admin panel or via the MSI directly (the latter will/should display a drive error)

Problem lies with the fact the My Documents folder is on a network drive. On previous versions, this did not cause any problem.

From the logs:
"Invalid Drive: V:"
"PersonalFolder = V:\Mes Documents"
On 0.80 we are installing files there for DSC. Perhaps we can make those non vital and check if that works? 🤔

@benhur2407 ,
Can you please try out https://github.com/jaimecbernardo/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.0.1-test-issue-32341 ?
That's a locally built (non signed) installed that marks the dsc files we're saving in "My Documents" as not vital.
Can you please uninstall your current PowerToys installation and install this one to verify if it solves your issue?
Would be good if we could try this out in time for the hotfix that we'll be releasing soon.
Thanks, in advance.

I tried the proposed installer and it works like a charm. Looking forward for this change in 0.81 Release. Thanks.
from powertoys.
Thanks for verifying!
from powertoys.
Is this fix committed then?
from powertoys.
Yes, We'll be releasing it in a 0.80.1 hotfix in the next few days.
from powertoys.
Tank you very much for taking care of this so promptly.
from powertoys.
0.80.1 did not fix this issue.
from powertoys.
I concur. Issue is still present in 0.80.1
from powertoys.
I might run into the same or similar issue. This occurs since 0.80.0 but also persists in 0.80.1. If requested, I'll open a separate issue.

What's "Eigene Dateien"?
This one is looking weird.
Can we please get the installer logs from 0.80.1 that you're getting?

I still get « Invalid Drive V:/ ». See attached log.

@benhur2407 , This installer had the same fix I had sent you before 🤔 Wonder why it failed for 0.80.1 and worked on the debug installer I've sent. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/32356/files
from powertoys.
Ah, before you were trying to use the user installer and now it's the machine installer? 🤔 Wonder if that's the issue.

It is the German word for the "My Documents" folder (C:\Users\%Username%\My Documemts
) on Win XP. That's indeed weird.

Just tried the user installer and I get the same error. See attached log.

As @htcfreek said, it's the german 'My Documents' equivalent. That folder resides on a network share. Here are the two log files with some redacted personal information:

I did not check the logs. But that sounds like a problem with folder redirection.

Thinking the same. I have active folder redirections for various user shell folders that point to network shares. For example:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal = \\$REMOTE\Benutzer\$USER\Eigene Dateien
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal = \\$REMOTE\Benutzer\$USER\Eigene Dateien
from powertoys.
I too am getting issues since v0.79.0, same issue, My Documents is mapped to a network drive/mount. v0.80.1 did not resolve the problem for me.

Hey @dkeitzel, I'm trying to reproduce the issue locally on my Windows 11 VM machine and I wonder how you did your setup.
What I did:
- created an admin user "Aaron" and changed the same registry entries as you've posted to
\\tsclient\P\aaron_home
- launched PowerToys user installer
However, I'm getting the following error:
Not sure why the dot is being appended 🤔
