"When you are installing a Windows® Installer-based setup program from a Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services session, you may receive one of the following error messages (where myapp.msi is the name of the .msi file that you are running).
On a system running the base version of Windows 2000, you will receive error 2755: Internal Error 2755. 3 \myapp.msi.
On a system running Windows 2000 Service Pack 1, you will receive error 1305: Error reading from file: \myapp.msi. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.
CAUSE:
These errors occur if you're running from a Terminal Server session and the path to the installation files is a mapped drive. The Windows Installer service is running in a different session than the user and therefore has different drive mappings. The errors occur because the .msi files that are needed cannot be found.
RESOLUTION:
To work around this problem, use the full universal naming convention (UNC) path on the command line or run the installation from the Terminal Server console."
