Setup on Novell network Versions 2.0x gives "cannot create subdirectory
G:\(etc.)" when trying to specify a destination for bound executables
(i.e., the first question about paths that the setup program asks).

It will not install on a network because it is illegal to do so
without a special licensing agreement with Microsoft. If you have this
agreement you receive a setup program that installs on the network.

This scenario should not be confused with the situation of someone
installing Microsoft software on their immediate machine and using
network drives to store files they have created. This process is
allowed.
