    Description

      See the screenshot.

      When pressing [OK] on the first dialog, I get the message you can see in qtbug-35202-b.png

      The problem seems to be that the installer run from a substed drive T: (T:\packages\qt-windows-enterprise-5.2.0-rc1-msvc2010_opengl-x86-offline_2013-11-28_13-10-31-166.exe) that is an alias for c:\digia. Running the installer directly from the C: drive does not give this problem.

      However, it seems that his was not a problem in Qt 5.0.x (Verified with the qt-windows-opensource-5.0.2-msvc2010_32_opengl-x86-offline.exe package). So far I've checked these Qt versions:

      Qt Version Installs from substed drive
      5.0.2 Yes
      5.1.1 Fails
      5.2.0-rc Fails
      qt-enterprise-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.3.0-beta_2014-03-20_19-42-41-19.exe Fails

      I'm afraid that this can also be a problem when trying to install from a network drive (not verified).
