11.1.1.4.0 Install Error: soa-infra PathLengthException

Question

Doing a fresh install of SOA Suite 11.1.1.4.0 on Windows XP following guidance provided in quickstartguidesoasuite11gr1ps3-313245.pdf verbatim. Get the following error when
starting the SOA domain for the first time:

Note that the "\Middleware\SOASuite11gR1PS3\user_projects\domains\SOASuitePS3DevDomain" path is as per the installation instructions .pdf referenced above. Is there any way to get around this without
having to start the whole install from scratch using a shorter path name?
thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Try recreating the domain with smaller name like domain1 instead of...SOASuitePS3DevDomain.
