Cannot install my product using a long installation path with windows installer when a short installation path works fine

Hello,
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to build a msi installer (windows installer 3.5). This msi will install all necessary files, dlls, documentation in order to have my application correctly installed and ready to run. One of my custom action allow to browse the
installation directory the default path is c:\program file\company name\product name). In that case the install works fine ie succesful installation.
However when entering a huge filename (>215 characters and less than 255 chars) such as: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
I get a dialog box:
Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\...\Single User Installation Quick Reference Guide.pdf. Verify that you have access
to that directory
"Try Again" "Cancel"
When I hit "Try again" button, I get another dialog box:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2350.
And the installation of my product fails.
I can create the huge path (>215 chars) manually with windows explorer without problem. I'm using the same account(Admin) when running the installer and when I create manually the path
Am I reaching the file path limit or? Any clue?
Thanks for help
Philippe

Hi
I have tried to install the product with the following path (198 chars): C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR the
installation did not succeed but this time no dialog box, no error was displayed. The installation just failed
I then tried with 180 chars: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
with same result. The installation did not succeed and no dialog box, no error was displayed.
I tried with 175chars
C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstu
and this time the installation was successful.
I have captured the events with
processmonitor and I have uploaded 2 additional files (LogfilePath175charsSuccessfullInstall.zip and LogfilePath198charsInstallFailed.zip) to Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com) at the same
place http://cid-35bc4002ff715ab5.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public?uc=0 for your attention.
Thank you

Nothing. It's simply not compatible. You need to upgrade to another product.

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. Select

and confirm. Test.
3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please describe it in more detail.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

The Deskjet series printers connect to wireless networks with what is called USB to Wireless.
You will need a supported operating system to connect a Deskjet to a wireless network. Supported operating systems to connect the printer to a wireless network are Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit), Windows Vista (32bit and 64bit), and Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, and 10.7).
While there is a software download option for Linux distributions, this is not the full featured software that is capable of adding the printer to a wireless network. Most printers have a wireless setup wizard to accomplish this task, but the Deskjet series printers connect in a different way.
Once the printer is connected to a wireless network, HPLIP 3.12.4 drivers should be able to locate the printer.
Click on Installing the Product Software for a Wireless Network Connection to receive instructions to connect to a wireless network using Windows and Mac operating systems.
Click on Software & Driver Downloads - HP Deskjet 3070A e-All-in-One Printer - B611a to download the appropriate software for a supported operating system to connect to a wireless network.

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help . I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .

Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

Probably. Install PSE3 and see if it works. If not, you can always try setting PSE3's "Compatibility Mode" to XP.

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?

You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

Hi MyAppleID99,
You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:
Apple Support: What are Letterboxing, Pillarboxing and Windowboxing?
