System.Exception: Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.InstallDatabaseAction failed. —> System.IO.IOException: The network path was not found. Error while installing MS CRM 4.0 or 2011

During a test installation of Dynamics CRM with minimal permission, I have received the error:

System.Exception: Operazione Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.InstallDatabaseAction non riuscita. —> System.IO.IOException: The network name cannot be found.

I have tried some Google search but I do not have found lot of information. During the search the more probable cause of the error is who my setup user are unable to access on the SQL Server administrative share (ADMIN$,C$,..).

I have shared the C: drive as C$ and added the read and write permission to the user used for the Dynamics CRM Setup.

It worked for me
