Based on the fact that the test with the USB Flashdrive worked, I assume that the other disk drive you mentioned above was also part of your W7 Home Network group?

Yes it was part of the network.

I will submit this bug report:

ID: xxxxxx

Bug summary: The irsetup installer gets a "Parameter incorrect" error with the disks in a Windows 7 HomeGroup.

Description: Please refer to this Forum topic: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=27979#p27979 by user neal681.

There is a workaround. Namely:

If you don't have a hard drive unknown to the HomeGroup, perhaps you have a USB port that is not in the HomeGroup.

If so, let's try something else real simple to see if the error persists.

1. Create an empty folder named aaa on a USB flash drive (inserted in M:\, for example).

2. Copy jv16pt_setup_hb.exe to the flash drive.

3. Run it from the flash drive.

4. At Capture 5.jpg, replace C:\Program Files (x86)\jv16 PowerTools 2011 with M:\aaa, then click Next.

5. When I do that, the installation downloads three handbooks (three languages) and proceeds normally, installing successfully to the aaa folder on the flash drive.

6. Do you still get the error?

If this works,

1. it is very likely that irsetup can not currently work with HomeGroup sharing. Macecraft can take the matter up with Indigo Rose Software.

2. In the meantime, you would have a workaround. Namely, copy M:\aaa to C:\aaa and run jv16PT.exe from there (C:\aaa\jv16PT.exe). Everything should work except the uninstaller.

Version 2.0.0.1007 with x64 Windows 7 (SP1)

Is W7 HomeGroup that uncommon or do other users "give up", without finding there way to either this forum or support ?

That was my reason for not using HomeGroup. I tried it only briefly until I found XP and Vista were not included.

Don't know if this thread is still being monitored, but I just developed the exact same problem.

I have more computer experience than the previous user, and believe the issue is related to security settings on the c:\drive.

Do you have anything else to try?

If you have a solution for this "jv16 installer problem on a disk that is shared in a W7 Home Group" please describe it on this forum thread.

But I do not know if the users tullik and neal681 are still monitoring this forum thread.

Is the population standard deviation considered a parameter? I know that the variance is a parameter, and that the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance. But is it a parameter as well?
