Error 1324: the folder path 'webi/' contains an invalid character

Hi pros,
I am getting this error when trying to install bobj xi 3.1 client version. the service pack is zero.
however, i previously had bobj xi 3.1 server / client components installed and bobj 4.0 client tools.
i uninstalled bobj 4 and bobj xi 3.1 server components from control panel. also, deleted them from registry.
still i am getting the above error.
kindly advise.

Hi,

  • Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

    Issue:  experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client. 
    Event Log:  Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
    path 'C:' contains an invalid character
    Symptoms (when in this current state): 
    Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
    You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
    AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content.  (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
    Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

    Resolution:
    Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder.  (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
    protected operating system files" to see it)
    If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
    Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
    After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

  • 'The folder path "C:" contains an invalid character.' ERROR AS I INSTALL iTunes

    hi
    first of all, merry xmas to all that celebrate! i hope you had/have a memorable day!
    and wishing everyone the very best for the new year.
    Now, I have a problem when I try to install iTunes on my computer. I'm running:
    - Windows Vista (Home Basic)
    - iTunes 10.5.2.11
    i have sufficient hard-drive space and sufficient ram. its definetly NOT from that. I originially DID HAVE iTunes already installed on my computer, but I was frequently having problems with establishing a connection through my iPhone 4. So I thought it would be a good idea to delete it and try downloading a new version, then install it fresh!
    I have some computer skills and knowledge, and i know how "most" things work and run. But now I am totally stuck. I run the iTunes software to be installed, but the installer keeps giving me an error message and NOT installing. I've done all the easy and required steps after I deleted the original version of iTunes from my computer, and now I need help from someone who really knows their stuff in IT and computer software. I have a feeling it may be a string of codes that are corrupt or significantly different to what they should be, but thats just my guess! cos like i already said, ive tried all the common fixes already but have been unsuccessful thus far. Some of the things I did were:
    - Restart the computer, re-boot, login to Windows, run the iTunes installation
    - Turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, re-boot and then run the iTunes installation
    - Delete ALL the "Apple" company software that was still installed on my computer (QuickTime, iPhone Utility, iPod, Bonjour, etc etc)
    - Confirm my "User Account Control" is OFF
    - Run the iTunes installation file from my secondary windows login account (which has "Administrator" privilages)
    - Create a new windows login account, turn off the UAC (User Account Control protection), then try installing iTunes
    - Run disk-error checks on my hard-drives incase there are missing/corrupt/misplaced files that needed repair
    etc etc etc etc
    Nothing worked! THIS BELOW IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I KEEP GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE iTUNES INSTALLER:
    - Double click on the iTunes install icon
    - The "Trusted File Security Warning/Confirmation" window appears, requesting I confirm to Run or Cancel the software installation. I click on "Run"
    - A horizontal grey bar appears in the middle of the screen, and quickly fills up green
    - Then a small installation windows appears (Windows Installer) that writes "Preparing to Install". Then it very fast writes a couple different sentences (which is normal), specifically the sentences are "Performing installation checks" and "Checking spacing requirements".
    - immedietly after the previous step, another window appears and I hear the "error" audio tone. The ERROR MESSAGE has the Yellow Triangle logo with an exclamation mark in the middle, and beside it displays the following text (and Ive attatched the screen shot too):
    THE FOLDER PATH "C:" CONTAINS AN INVALID CHARACTER
    then below this message theres the "OK" button which I have no choice but to click on. then the next window that appears is as follows (see screenshot), and it reads:
    iTunes Installer Completed
    The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
    Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit
    Please I beg you guys to help me, I will be extremely grateful for ALL and ANY advice/tips/assistance/solutions I receive. And would owe you one for sure!!
    Please feel free to write your opinions and thoughts on what I could do different, as Ive used up all my knowledge regarding the matter, and have seriously hit a brick wall now.
    Thanks so so so much, and once again I wish everyone the absolute very best!
    regards.

  • The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character.

    "The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character."
    I get this error message whenever I try to install iTunes 7.0.2.16 (the most recent version). I tell it to install with all the default paths, options, everything. I have tried changing the path to see if that fixes it but it unfortunately seems to have no effect on it.

    i'm about two months out of date with the state of the art on treatments for this particular one. but there's a few possibilities we can follow up on until someone more up to date on this comes to rescue us.
    let's first check on the InstallShield advice for the 1324 error. (you're not getting that number, but the error message is often a 1324 in disguise.)
    see:
    Error -1324: The Folder Path Contains an Invalid Character
    if no joy there, we'll try the advice from the following MS kbase article. (although it's about a different application, it has been of some help in the past with this sort of error.)
    You may receive one of three error messages when you try to install Streets and Trips or MapPoint
    (typically i turn to that latter on when the invalid character message cites the My Pictures folder ... but it's probably worth a crack nonetheless.)

  • ITunes 7 upgrade fails: The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

    I see this message when I try to upgrade to ITunes 7.
    The path selected is C:\\Program Files\iTunes (the default one).
    Also tried to manually browse to this directory, in case something was wrong with default path.
    Also tried running Registry Mechanic in case there were strange characters in any of my registry settings.
    Nothing helps.

  • IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path contains an invalid character

    I tried to install ITUNES on an external HD (I didn't want to slow down my computer by putting all of my music on my internal HD). ITunes installed and then crashed. I removed all traces of ITUNES and IPOD that I could find and went to install ITUNES again on my regular internal drive. Now it goes through the installation and REMEMBERS my IPOD serial number (so obviously I can't find all of the files to remove) but doesn't give me a choice of where to install (it still must be trying to install to my external HD) the ITUNES. All I get is the following Error message:
    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Does anyone have a solution out there?
    Thanks in advance!

    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Interesting. It's choking on the old iPod updater application. (iPod software updates are no longer handled by a standalone application ... that function was folded into iTunes beginning with iTunes 7.0.0.70.)
    Let's try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any entries called "ipod for windows \[date]" or "ipod updater \[date]" or just "ipod for windows" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Quit out of CleanUp, and restart the PC.

  • The package name The Gallbladder-4.itmsp contains an invalid character(s).  The valid characters are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, dash, period, underscore, but the name cannot start with a dash, period, or underscore

    I have an iBook on itunes and I am trying to upload a new version of the book. I am following the workflow through iBooks Author and when I fell out all of the infromation for the package on iTunes producer i then hit the deliver button and I get the following error message:

    As far as I can tell the file that is being referenced does not meet the criteria axpressed in the erro message and in fact that file has been created by iBooks Author so one would think there shouldnt be an error.

  • Error 1324 The path MyPictures contains an invalid character

    Just purchased IPod and in trying to load CD or in downloading get the same error message and have no clue as to how to correct it.
    Appreciate any help.

    What do you have set for your My Picture folder? People who have manually tried to move their My Documents or My Pictures folder to an external drive and failed for some reason sometimes have this problem. One way to check what the current setting is to peek in your registry.
    On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor. From here on, it is mouse clicks only.
    Find the heading HKEYCURRENTUSER. Click on it.
    Find the heading Software inside it. Click on it.
    Find the heading Microsoft. Click
    Find the heading Windows. Click
    Find the heading CurrentVersion. Click
    Find the heading Explorer. Click
    Find the heading ShellFolders. Click
    On the right, you should now see a table. Look for "My Pictures" in the first column. What does it say in the 3rd column?
    Some people have been using the TweakUI application to get this setting straightened out.
    Go here and look for a link in the right hand side bar to download TweakUI.exe.
    Also make sure you have read/write permissions to your My Pictures folder.

  • Install iTunes 10.4.1 install error - The Folder Path "File Name" contains an invalid character

    Upgraded computer from XP Prof 32-Bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit (Upgrade package, performed Custom Install).
    Attempt to install iTunes 10.4.1 for 64-Bit.  Receiving the following error/problem:
    The Folder Path "File Name on my external drive" contains an invalid character
    I click ok and then get this:
    The Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.  Errors occurred during installation.  Your system could not be modified,  Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit.
    Any fixes for this?

    Sorry, one of us is not managing to be clear enough.
    Does the message read The Folder Path "File Name on my external drive" contains an invalid character or perhaps The Folder Path "<some path name here>" contains an invalid character?
    If so, then the problem might be just what it says it is with the path name in question... Either way if you list the path given in the error message in a reply to this thread it might provide a clue for anyone tying to help with the problem.
    You could try downloading the installer to C:\iTunesSetup.exe in case that helps.
