Running Web or Load tests from a Network Drive

When attempting to run a web test or load test from a network drive; web and load tests will fail with the error:

VSP1394 "VSPerf logger does not support logging to nework drives"

(Note: Dyanamic code analysis will also fail...but gives you the option to remap the results to a local drive.)

The reason for this error is the web and loads tests will alway attempt to place the results

<TestResultsDirectory>\IN\<MachineName>\Data<*>.coverage.

To work around this limitation there are two options:

I have included a complete Localtestrun.testconfig that is remaping the test results to my e:\testruns drive and directory below.
