             nThis:


Windows Installer 3.1 installation bails out early with a MessageBox error
"Unable to find a volume for file extraction.  Please verify that you have
proper permissions."  I'll attach the significant portion of the log.  The
installer is calling QueryDosDeviceW and searching the returned drive string for
either 'harddisk' or 'ramdisk', which we don't have.  Our drive is drive_c.  The
check fails, and the installer errors out.  One possible fix is to change the
name of our c: drive to harddiskvolume1, like Windows does, or at least
something that has 'harddisk' in the drive name.  Hans Leidekker has provided
such a patch [1].
