Windows 10: Error running executable using mapped drive letter on network drive

I have been using VueMinder calendar software for years, but recently started getting an error preventing this software from loading, when using the mapped drive letter in the path. It runs fine when using the network path (IP).

Have successfully run the caspol utility, however the error still prevails. Per the software developer, following is the caspol command run at the command line.

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\caspol -machine -addgroup 1 -url "file:///Y:\folder1\folder2\VueMinder\*" FullTrust

Since it did not fix the problem, the developer advised it was now a Microsoft problem, so I am trying this forum to see if anyone has any ideas. Following is the error I am still getting.

Registration Entry not executable from mapped network drive


Hello,

Hope someone knows a quick fix, this is a weird one.

Win10 (obviously).
Registry-File on a network share.
If I execute it without mapped drive (ie directly through the share) - OK.
If I map the share to a letter, and try to execute:
Registry Editor
Cannot import O:\test.reg: Error opening the file. There may be a disk or file system error.

I am a user and a member of the local Administrators group.
UAC is turned off.

..and: I can execute executable files normally. Some need Admin rights, but not all.

Had previously Win7->Win10 upgrade, now decided to install clean.

Many thanks afront.

Cannot add/change drive letter in disk management or map network drive.

I need to connect portable HDD to my PC but the drive is not showed up.(Another PC worked normally) When I try to assign drive letter in drive management.(Volume is appeared in Disk Management as NTFS but no drive assigned) Drive letter list is greyed out except
"Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and map network drive also, drive list is empty. So, i don't really know what to do at this
problem.

 

Cannot add/change drive letter in disk management or map network drive.

Hi,

Thanks for the update on the issue. try these methods and check.

Method 1: I would suggest you to change to the following options for
both the systems (Main PC and Set-top PC) on the network in the
advanced sharing settings (OpenNetwork & Sharing Center
> Change Advanced Sharing settings):



- Turn on Network Discovery

- Turn on file and printer sharing

- Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the public folders

- Turn off password protected sharing



Now, try to map the drive following these steps:

• Press Windows key+E key on the keyboard.
• Click Computer (above) and click on
  Map network drive from the options given under the address bar.
• In the Drive box, click the drive letter you want to use.
• In the Folder box, type
  \\server\share, where you can type the IP address of the drive to be mapped. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.6.xxx, you can type
  \\192.168.6.xxx.
• Click Finish.

Method 2:

Try to ping the IP address from the Run command. Refer to the following steps:

• Press Windows button and
  R key
• Type in the IP address of the drive to be mapped, e.g., if the IP address is 192.168.6.xxx, you can type
  \\192.168.6.xxx.
• Click OK.

Check if you are able to open the network drive.



Method 3:

If the methods do not help, try to rename the
hosts file in the drivers and check if you are able to connect to the network drive.

• Click Windows key and File explorer.
• Go to the location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
• Rename the file hosts to
  hosts.old and close the window.
• Restart your computer.

Hope this information is helpful. If the issue still persists, please post back for further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.
