Get off the habit of using mapped drives. Use UNC paths directly.
But for your specific issue, the drive mapped in your user session, but you
start setup within administrative session, where the drive is not mapped.
So, back to the previous statement, get off the bad habits. Or map the disk
inside adm session.
