windows 7 - Microsoft hotfix install over network fails 0x80070003

I have been been trying to figure this out for a long time now and have made no progress so I'm hoping someone can help.


I have an installer script to install a predefined set of Microsoft hotfixes on a new Windows 7 boxes. When installing from a network mapped drive with"


"C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "Z:\Documents\OS_Hotfixes\Win7-2008\32bit\Windows7SP1\Windows6.1-KB2559049-x86.msu"


I get an error: Installer encountered an error: 0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.


If I run the same hotfix from the local machine:


"C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Share\HostDocuments\OS_Hotfixes\Win7-2008\32bit\Windows7SP1\Windows6.1-KB2559049-x86.msu"


The hotfix installs just fine with no unexpected errors.


All hotfixes act the same way so it's not this specific one. I have also run sfc /scannow on the box with no success.


This is a Windows 7 SP1 32 bit host.
