Yes. In theory this means that you don't need admin privs to install things.. but I'm not aware of any admin silly enough to actually enable this (since it would create a trivial backdoor.. anyone with a copy of wix could grant themselves administrator rights). > And of course I could not put my repo on this drive either, it moved > to C:\DATA when I switched PC... In theory I suspect you could do it, but it'd be a horrid hack - make something that logs in as LocalSystem and did the subst on bootup. btw. you can't share subst drives on XP for the same reason.
