From the MSI log file:

===================================================================

Here the U:\ was a user profile drive and mapped drive.

To resolve the issue, we had to modify the following registry :

We found that following registry had the path of K:\ and changed the path to %userprofile%\

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\Explorer\usershellfolder - right hand side look at the value for “Personal”. It needs to be %userprofile%\ not the drive name as the installation of the software is per-machine based and it will fail it sees the “Personal” value as a specific user drive path.
