    <p>I'm trying to figure out how to install some programs where the components reside on two different drives on a networked path. However whenever I use <code>pushd \\xyz\c$</code> I get a mapped drive which means I cannot use any knowledge of using for example <code>c:\install e:\mycomponents.dll</code>. Is there anyway that I can do this once I have used the pushd command?</p> <p>How can I ensure that I keep the drives the same for example. I'm in the process of installing services. So it seems that when I install the service, I need to keep the path as the same as the actual location of the .exe which means that I'm running into issues.</p> <p>Is there a way to simply use pushd but at the sametime not actually map drives? As when installing services, when I've been using <code>net use</code>, I've found that there is an issue with installing on drives which are mapped, as the service whilst can be installed doesn't find the actual .exe when it comes to starting up the service. </p> <p>So to expand this, is there a way to solve this using <code>net use</code> or <code>pushd</code> or a combination that lets me install a service as such: <code>c:\windows\..\installutil e:\mynode</code>?</p> <p>So to clarify, I need to somehow be able to see both drives on the remote machine by their relative drives i.e. E:\ and C:\ - if I use a mapped drive letter then it means installing service is a pain because I cannot use the path.</p> <p><strong>Issue 1:</strong></p> <p>If I use pushd, then I cannot see both drive letters on the server.</p> <pre><code>net use i: %Machine1PathFRM% pushd %Machine1PathZIP% i:\installutil /username=ABC /password=abc %ZMN% popd </code></pre> <p><strong>Issue 2:</strong></p> <p>If I use <code>net use</code> then I whilst I can use this for say the install utils, when it comes to running the service, windows cant find the local file because it has performed some kind of file mapping process which is very very annoying indeed.</p> <pre><code>REM Install Processes Machine 1 REM net use e: %Machine1PathZIP% REM net use i: %Machine1PathFRM% REM i:\installutil /username=ABC /password=abc e:\%ZMN% REM i:\installutil /username=ABC /password=abc e:\%ZPL% </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
