It's a network drive where my My Documents folder is stored. However, the way it's set up, I have rights to My Documents, but not to the root. I have been able to install this in the past, and it didn't go to drive M. I now have a new computer, however my My Docs folder has always been on this drive.
Most software puts its files in the folder that you select for installing the program, which I think would be the most reliable way to go. Not sure if our environment changed, or the install changed how it's determining which drive to put this on, but I need to figure out a way around this. Is this folder just plugins and can I manually install them someplace else and point to them?

"I was not talking about Documents directory. It is about user home directory."
Yes, I realize what you're asking. I guess you would refer to it as my Active Directory Home folder on the network. What I was trying to explain was what was there and what I couldn't do which was causing the trouble. I have rights to edit or create files/folders in the folders already in place, such as the My Documents folder, Favorites, Desktop, etc. But I can't add additional files in folders of my choosing. It's just for those special Windows folders. I don't have rights to create my own additional folders in there.
