Start SETUP.EXE through a universal naming convention (UNC) connection (for
example, type "\\netroot\share\subdir\msvc\SETUP.EXE"). Installation fails
and the following message box is displayed:
Setup cannot initialize the file list
RESOLUTION
Assign a drive letter to the network share and run the SETUP.EXE file (for
example, use "x:\subdir\msvc\SETUP.EXE").
STATUS

beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in Visual C++ 2.2, but
has not been fixed in the 16-bit version of our compiler. We will post new
information here in the Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
