For anyone having problem with the DOS SUBST: command:
I have noticed the command has a problem when executing from within a
batch file...and gives the error:
Cannot SUBST a network drive (even when no network is active)
I have found that if you initailize the command with a VALID drive
letter A:-C: first, and then execute your command, it will operate clearly,
so that if you HAD:
SUBST G: C:\bin\dat
You can fix the problem with:
SUBST B: C:\
SUBST G: C:\bin\dat
SUBST B: /d (To delete the B: substitution)
Hope I helped someone out there:
