#411 browsed network root directory isn't accepted

[Anonymous]

On windows, creating a shortcut installer for an access
mdb, e.g., to \\mycomp\\databaseInstDir

I set AllowRootDirInstall true in the script, but
coming back from the browse which is filtered using
.onVerifyInstDir the Install button is grayed out.

Placing StrCpy $INSTDIR "$INSTDIR\" in .onVerifyInstDir
allows installation.

The bug is either that it will only install (or reveal
the functionality to install) to a network path ending
with a backslash, or that the return value from the
browse function is missing the backslash.

I can reproduce the problem. I hope I'll get to it soon,
before 2.11.

btw, there's no need for .onVerifyInstDir to reproduce this.
Simply browsing for a network share root is enough.
