Start service from network drive

[martho]

Hello! I have a service which works fine when started from a local drive. But I want to deploy it in the network, so I want to start it from a network drive. The problem is that neither a "H:\MyService.exe" (where H is a mapped network drive) nor somethink like "\\MyServer\MyService.exe" is working.

Could it be that at the time the services are started the network is nor accessible? What can I do about it?

I'll toss this out and let you sort through it...
