    I figured it out. I had to apply the below fix.

    So, just open regedit and locate this key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    In the right pane look for EnableLUA and modify its value to 0. Close regedit.

    Done.

    I do not know if this will help or not but there was what sounds like a similar problem with Windows 7 and the client where it looks at a mapped drive as a UNC path.  I got around that issue by copying the wrkstn folder to the local drive C on the workstation and running setup.exe from there.  You will get an error stating that the installed client may install but not operate correctly but I never have had an issue doing it this way.  It cannot hurt to try.

    I am running into the same problem. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

    Hi Rahul,

    Can you post the exact error message that you are getting. Cos i didn't get any errors while installing SL 2011 in a client machine.

    Thanks,

    Karthik
