In most cases, this particular error occurs because the installation program attempts to perform the operation in an unassigned network location. In this case, you can quickly resolve the problem by mapping the location of the network that is not configured.
We have focused on MS Office in this article, but corrections are not limited to Office. Depending on your level of knowledge, you should be able to apply the same approach to almost all requests that return this error.
Office installations tend to force installation on drives that may not exist. In this case, you can use a SUBST command to redirect to a correct drive, or you can manually change the location of LocalCacheDrive.
