MSI / upon installation...

I'm creating a few directories on a network drive.

data\.prefs
data\.config

When the MSI attempts to write to thee folders, it gives me some errors. This is a java based application. When launching the application, it's able to copy these files with no problem. I'm assuming because it is java based. Is there something I can do to make this work via the MSI?

Thank You!

Could you explain alittle bit more about the package?
Are your creating these directories through the msi installation?
Writing files (I guess in the package) to the folders?

What error do you got, could you post the log snip where the error occurs?

The directories are being created within the package, not via custom action but via 'createfolder' then adding the appropriate settings into the directories table. This does create the directories with no problem, but when it's time to copy files to these directories via the package, I get some errors. I don't have the package in front of me at the moment so I'll answer the other questions tomorrow morning. Thanks for your assistance!
