Well, you can add to the list a product called BrioQuery -- its older
and I think it has now been renamed.

However, the only way I was able to make it work was to map a drive
letter to the afs path and then do the installation into the mapped
drive.

It would be nice if windows truly understood unc's everywhere.. I am
running bash scripts through cygwin out of afs as well. I start cygwin
bash through windows cmd files -- bash understands unc's.

I also find that I can successfully run any the pstools out of afs
when using a mapped drive -- these are simple statically linked exe's
though.
