But it's not even that. My X: drive has absolutely nothing to do with home drives or folders, or anything. I use it for archiving.
And it's connecetd.
OK, problem found and fixed.
Following the URL in the error dialog (which, of course I had to type in by hand - or actually cut an paste from my original post here, which I had typed in by hand), I find Adobe's 'details' of the problem.
In fact it offers no background information, but suggests two solutions. Solution 1 is to remap the drive to a local directory using 'subst'. Nice.
Solution 2 links to a MS Knowledgebase article which says there might be an incorrect entry in the 'User Shell Folders' registry key. Sure enough, the 'My Pictures' entry points to X:\Pictures - which doesn't exist on the mapped drive. Heaven knows when that got changed, but I restore it to its default value, re-run the install, and all goes well.
So I take back my assertion above that my X: drive has nothing to do with home drives or folders.
Now I know the answer, I can go back to the original error message:
"Error 1327.Invalid Drive:" - No, the drive is fine.
"X:\ Mapped to a user folder." - Yes it is, now that I know what a 'user folder' is. Well, actually the user folder is mapped to X:. Well, actually, it's mapped to a nonexistent subdirectory of X:.
"The drive does not exist" - It most certainly does. The referenced subdirectory doesn't.
"or could not be connected." - It most certainly can - it's connected right now.
"You can either disconnect the drive" - So you've said the drive either doesn't exist, or couldn't be connected, and now you're suggesting I disconnect it. Interesting.
"or reassign the drive letter." - OK, point it to an arbitrary location and hope there's a subdirectory with the right name?
"For details refer http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404946.html" - By manually typing the URL.
Just about every piece of information in the message is wrong. Quite an achievement.
And of course now that it's installed, trying to print some pages of a document results in an error dialog saying "No pages selected."
Kill me now.
