[wpkg-users] msiexec fails when pointed to dfsr share

Whenever WPKG runs msiexec and the path points to our DFSR share, I get an error saying the file cannot be found. If I run the exact same command WPKG runs (copied from the debug log) manually it works just fine.

If I change our %software% variable to a \\hostname\share<file:///\\hostname\share> it works. But whenever it's set to \\domain\share<file:///\\domain\share> it fails claiming it can't find the file.

Right now, I'm thinking the only workaround is to wrap all of our MSI deployed packages in a command to copy the relevant MSI to the local disk and then execute msiexec. This would work, but I would much prefer WPKG to be able to just read directly from the dfsr share.
