While installing Articulate Studio, you may encounter the following error:
Error 1327.Invalid Drive
This can happen when the Windows shell folders on your system (My Documents, My Pictures, etc.) are mapped to a network drive rather than the default local hard drive. Here's how to correct it:
Note: This procedure involves editing the registry. You may need to request assistance from your system administrator.
- Open the Run dialog using the following instructions for your version of Windows:
- Windows 10: Right-click the Start button and select Run.
- Windows 8: Press Windows Key+R on your keyboard. Or, right-click the lower left corner of your monitor to display the Tools Menu and select Run.
- Windows 7: Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run.
- Windows Vista: Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run.
- Windows XP: Go to Start > Run.
- Type regedit into the Run dialog and click OK.
- When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders - Go to File menu and choose Export.
- Save this registry key to your desktop. (We'll restore it in step 9.)
- In the Registry Editor, double-click each value in the User Shell Folders registry key, and replace the drive letter or server name before the first backslash (\) with the following variable:
%USERPROFILE% - Close the Registry Editor.
- Install Articulate Studio.
- After installation has completed, double-click the .reg file on your desktop (that was exported in step 5) to restore the registry to its original state.
- Click Yes when prompted to accept the registry change.
- Click OK to acknowledge the change.
