I'm sorry I meant

psubst g: "C:\Program Files (x86)" /p

First of all. Check that there is no drive named G: in your system. 

This message comes from the original command SUBST. It means that you try 
substitute the specified path to the existing drive name. If you try to 
substitute a path to the drive that already used as substituted you will see 
another message:

{{{
Drive already SUBSTed
}}}

No matter what drive letter I use, it doesn't work for "C:\Program Files 
(x86)". I also tried using the trailing slash "C:\Program Files (x86)\" but 
this doesn't work either.

So I can't map "C:\Program Files (x86)" on Windows 7 with psubst.

Meanwhile subst g: "C:\Program Files (x86)" works well.

Regards,
Serge.
