[Samba] Trouble installing applications from samba share using Windows Vista

[sboydlns at gmail.com]

I am having trouble installing applications onto a Vista machine from
a Samba 3.0.23a share.  I keep getting a Windows error telling me that
the network path could not be found after I double click setup.exe.

I can copy the files from the share to my local hard drive and install
no problem.  I can also copy them to a W2K share and install from
there no problem. So, it seems the be Samba related.

Everthing else that I have tried with Samba and Vista seems to be
working.  I can execute other programs from the share, for example.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?  And have a solution?
