Network drive for image

Hi,

I would like to use a network drive for storage directory. During the setup, I'm selecting my network drive ( network location mount with a drive letter) but the setup utility told me this location never exist. The drive is mount and accessible. The host machine for my Orthanc server is a HyperV Windows server 2012 instance. The network driver is a shared drive from the host machine. is it possible to find a walk around.

Thank you

I have been contacted by private mail by the author of this message. I had not noticed that the question was also posted on the mailing list. So, I replicate our discussion:

You should ask this question to the InnoSetup team, as this is the software that is used to create the Windows installer:

To bypass this problem, you could:

  1. Install Orthanc onto the default “C:\Orthanc” folder,
  2. Stop the Orthanc service (in the Windows control panel),
  3. Move the content of “C:\Orthanc” to another drive (say, “E:\Orthanc”),
  4. Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) and fix the value of SOFTWARE\Orthanc\Orthanc Server\OrthancDir",
  5. Restart the Orthanc service (in the Windows control panel).

Mister Jodogne,

Thank you for your advice. I have tried to use your procedure to find a walk around to my problem. The service do not want to restart. This is the error I get

In the event viewer I get this error

The Orthanc service terminated with the following error:

Thank you for your help

This probably indicates that the Administrator user does not have read/write access to the network drive.

You should ask HyperV support why the InnoSetup installer of Orthanc does not allow to select this network drive.

As I do not have access to HyperV, I cannot help you further. I can only guarantee that such a setup is fine with VirtualBox, or with VMWare virtualization.

Sorry,
Sébastien-
