I am re-installing V 5.1 bld. 2 but get this error when running the update. The installer promptly dies after this error. My local drive is E: instead of C:. Any ideas?

This is what I found on the issue Dan

If drive letters have been changed on your computer, re-assign the original letter to the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or operating system drive. Follow the steps appropriate to your operating system:
Windows XP Users

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
In the Computer Management tree, click Disk Management.
Right-click the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, or the drive that contains the operating system, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change, and change it to the original drive letter. Click OK, and then click Close.

Thanks for the info but the operating system drive, in my case E:\\, can't be renamed.

However I was able to map a network drive (labled C:) to drive E: through Windows Explorer/tools/Map Network drive. The 5.1 update now runs thinking it is installing to drive C: but is mapped to E:.
