lessmsi.exe crashes on a substed drive

[salsifis]

Suppose I do the following:

subst K: "%HOMEPATH%\Applications"
K:\LessMSI\lessmsi.exe

Then it crashes. If I run, however, %HOMEPATH%\Applications\lessmsi.exe, then it will run smoothly.

No idea why that might happen. A stack trace might help point in the right direction. Would be happy to accept a pull request for this.

The following problem seems to be related.

I have the following stack trace on a substed drive with lessmsi.exe x <file.msi> where the current directory is D:\:

Error: System.IndexOutOfRangeException:
   at LessIO.Strategies.Win32.Win32FileSystemStrategy.CreateDirectory(Path path)
   at LessMsi.Msi.Wixtracts.ExtractFiles(Path msi, String outputDir, MsiFile[] filesToExtract, AsyncCallback progressCallback)
   at LessMsi.Cli.Program.DoExtraction(String msiFileName, String outDirName, List`1 filesToExtract)
   at LessMsi.Cli.ExtractCommand.Run(List`1 allArgs)
   at LessMsi.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)

This happens if I am on D:\, but not when on C:\disk_d\

...still waiting on a nuget update to be able to push this fix to a full release of lessmsi...

Fixed in 1.5. Get it via chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/packages/lessmsi/1.5 or at https://github.com/activescott/lessmsi/releases/tag/v1.5
