I keep receiving this message
An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Users\owner\AppData"
anyone knows how to fix this?

I might be wrong but the issue is most likely related to missing permissions for the C:\Users\WinUserName\AppData folder. If this is the case, then not only Skype but all other programs which need to access this folder will not install properly. In order to locate this folder one has to type %appdata% in Windows Start Search box and press Enter. Right click on the AppData folder, select properties and Security tab. Select in turn all the user names listed there. Should be something like SYSTEM, your win user name and Administrators. For each of the users look for which permissions are given for this folder. If some permissions are missing, then click Edit and change to Allow. You will only be able to do this if you have Administrative privileges.

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
"an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
Any suggestions?

I'm having problems with a message that says: An error occurred while Attempting to create the directory: C:/program files/itunes/cd configuarion

I know this is a long story, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to get the most specific help I can (as Apple seems to specialize in assuming user error for all its demonic software). I've never had issues with iTunes before (barring a "Connect to iTunes" snafu with my iPod Touch) -- and never, in fact, with Windows Vista, if you believe that -- but this is the most bizarre thing I've seen.
I recently downloaded the new iTunes v 9.0.3 as I am occasionally prompted to do whenever a new version comes out, and immediately I had problems. Access to the iTunes and Quicktime folders was mysteriously denied after the update, and after several hours of frustration, I was able to grant my own Administrative access to these two folders and installation went through. Thank God.
Then I bought some music. No problems -- downloaded just fine, along with a copy of Cinderella Man and the new episode of Smallville. Life was good for a few days.
Then I connected my iPod Touch to the computer. All of a sudden, Microsoft Windows informs me that the "Apple Mobile Device Service stopped working and was closed," with subtext, "A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
Bullsh*t Windows can help me with anything from Apple.
So I've tried to get iTunes to work with me on this. I've come up against the infamous "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)" message. My God, when does it ever end?
So I go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Apple Mobile Device and start it back up... only to watch it stop again inexplicably moments later. Hmm... Restart. Stays on. Unplug the iPod and plug it back in. Apple Mobile Device Service stops again. Maybe it's the iPod Service itself. Hey, that one's not started! [Start] "Windows could not start the iPod Service service on Local Computer -- Error 5: Access is denied."
What the f*ck is it with this "Access denied" crap? I've never been denied access to even the most intimate functions, files and folders on my freaking computer before! What has Apple created!?
I thought, perhaps Apple Mobile Device software was somehow removed. Okay, let's redownload iTunes (aka Repair the program from the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel -- same thing). Huh. "An error occurred while attempting to create directory C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration," and I can choose to Retry or Cancel. So, instinctively, I deleted the CD Configuration folder, assuming iTunes Setup would just recreate it.
Well, that didn't work now, did it? I deleted it and hit Retry, and it said, "The installer has insufficient priveleges to access the directory: C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." Running the .exe file as an adminstrator changes NOTHING about this predicament.
So that's where it stands. No CD Configuration folder; full access to all files and folders involved; Apple Mobile Device Service still keeps going off for no reason; iPod Service still doesn't run; Repairing/Reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, etc. does nothing; and God (aka Steve Jobs, apparently) hates me.
. . . . . . . . . . . . Help me.

Although I can see the data coming is correct, but don't know why this error is coming.

How can I see the detail log to trace the error?
Please help.

Hi,
You can login as system using SQLPlus and use the DBMS_SYSTEM.set_sql_trace_in_session procedure to set trace on another Discoverer session. This should establish if there is any database error occuring in the Discoverer session.

An error occurred while attempting to export the virtual machine (0x80070050)

I was exporting several VM's from a Vhost so that i could import them into a new cluster. Four out of the five machines went off with no hitch and were exported and then imported. However one of the machines throws up an error durring the export
"An error occurred while attempting to export the virtual machine.
Filed to copy file during export.
Failed to copy file from 'D:\path\of\vhd\VM.vhd to 'D:\path\of\export\VM.vhd': The file esists (0x80070050)"

I have found an answer to my own question after
further investigation … In hopes of helping anyone who may have a similar problem in the future....
What happened was the server has two VHD’s one is located in C:\vm\vhd\server.vhd the second was located in a different directory such as C:\vm\vhd1\server.vhd
as both vhd files were named identically when the export was attempted it tried to move both files into the same directory I assume giving the “file already exists error”.

An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)

Hello:
I have recently started getting this error when trying to Hot Sync my device:
An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)
The device is a Symbol scanner with Palm OS v4.17. It is connected to my computer with a serial cable. The only relatively recent changes I can think of to my system are:
1. Installed a Borland software product (StarTeam) that is newer than my Palm software.
2. Installed MS Office 2007.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!
Post relates to: None

I would have to recommend you contact your vender where you got the scanner from. If a device got this error that we support we would hard reset the device and rename the backup folder under the username for hotsync. With this device I wouldn't know where to start.

An error occured while attempting to perform the operation.

Hi
I'm getting the following error message in my disco plus report.
"An error occured while attempting to perform this action. The operation did not complete successfully.
Extra Internal info:
(OLException
Cause:OLException {
Code: OLCmRefException::eNullRef
Args: OLCmRefException::eNullRef
I have searched the forum but have found no usefull information for me.
The problem occured when I added a calculation to woorkbook that was working perfectly fine before. Now I can't even remove any item or calculation (or anything) from the worksheet.
I then edited the calculation to just show "1" instead which allowed me to remove that certain calculation, but I can still not remove any item.
Please ask if more details are needed.
What can have caused this problem, and is there a way to solve it? Do I have to redo the entire report?

Robert,
We encountered this issue with our 10.1.2.54.25 installation on a Solaris OS. We are currently at CP3. We have tried CP4, 5, 6 and 7. No resolution. Oracle has replicated our issue assigned a bug # and say that they have found a fix but it will not be made available until the release of 10.1.2.3 CP2. We have requested a one-off patch for 10.1.2.54.25 CP7. They are currently thinking about it. We have been hung up since Feb. '08 and not be able to resolve any bugs because of this problem.

An error occurred while attempting to install the BizTalk application: Failed extracting CAB files.

Ok I have a BizTalk Application that's called :
FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200
I know that is a long name but why should I be punisched when I create an installer for that. I also have a WebService that exposes this schema. And this webservice is stored inside the MSI cab files. So far so good.
But now when I try to install this MSI alongside all my other MSI's I get the following message :
Failed to extract file "C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200\36FAA7B1-99DE-4AF6-A910-ED56D02D84EF\WebDirectory\-FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.WES\App_Data\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.Schemas.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.xsd".
(Length=306)
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters., (NULL), (NULL), (NULL).
If i could install in C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200 but the extraction would take place in d:\temp or whatever, I would not have a problem. But unfortunately it extracts in a subdir of an already
very long path......
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this... (can I tell the MSI to use D:\TEMP\ as an extract folder).
And using shorter names is not an option.

You can control the destination path of resources in your MSI by modifying them in the Resources folder of a BizTalk application.
%BTAD_InstallDir% defaults to C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\... etc etc. You can put in whatever you like here.
You can get more granular control over the resources by using the
BTSTask.exe tool.
If you can tell me how to make the extract process of he cabs point to c:\temp i will be happy to use BTSTASK (wich i am already doing). But the problem is with the extraction oft he web service. It will extract to :
C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200\36FAA7B1-99DE-4AF6-A910-ED56D02D84EF\WebDirectory\-FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.WES\App_Data\FH.CCE.CDM.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.Schemas.FinancieleOpdrachtLogistiekMiddel_v0200.xsd
Wich is just to long. I want the cabs to extract to c:\temp or something like that.....

Trying to update to iTunes 10.4.1 and I get a message "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi" Running WIndows 7 with all updates done. I have never had an issue with iTunes updating before. Anyo

iTunes has tried to update itself and runs into an error and tells me to manually install. When I d/l and run the iTunesSetup.exe file I always encounter the following error message...
"A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C;|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi" and iTunes does not update to iTunes 10.4.1.
Anyone know what is creating this error message? Thanks for the help...

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
Good luck & happy computing!
