[COMException (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified.

VS2008 and Crystal reports on 2003 Server running IIF.
When I try to use the buttons, Print or Export to PDF, we get the following error:
A little background, we have move all the crystal reports to what we call a report loader where the loader treverses the SQL tables and inserts the correct connection string to the SQL data server. Before doing the move, the Export worked but the printing did not work.
After the change now neither Export or Print works. Sames error message.

Hi, Craig;
It sounds like you are running into this issue: [CitrixDrive|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313337333933383338%7D.do]
You do not say which version of Crystal Reports you are using, so the registry key may be different for whichever version you have.

Getting ComException (0x80004005):The system cannot find the file specified

Our customer is getting an error from her remote location via the internet, running a report that has not changed in a year. None of our other customers are having this problem. When we sign in from our office with her credentials, we do not get the error. We've had her reboot, clear cache, etc. She has tried from Firefox and IE ... same result.
She is running WindowsXP and signs into our website VB program on a 2008Server under IIS aspx.net and SQL Server. We are using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.2.0.290 full.

Again, we have made no changes ... it has just stopped working for her, yet other remote users are creating the report just fine .... BUT, each has their own SQL database that the report is being created from. Any help??

I moved your post to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
Only idea I have at this time is to get [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] on this. You'll have to download it on to the server. Filter for the worker process so you limit the log size. Then have the customer attempt to load the report. Once she gets the error, you can save the log. Look for any errors re. load of files (DLLs, rpt files, etc.) and also look for "Access Denied" errors on files as well as registries.

"The system cannot find the path specified" error

Hi, Thanks for taking the time and reading.
I had to update an old report that was made in CrystalReports. I copied the rpt files and pasted them into a csharp solution in VS 2010.
The report structure is of a Main report and 6 subreports. I have to run this Main report many times and feed it a different integer as a parameter.
I can preview the report in report viewer perfectly. When i try to export the main report into a pdf format
i get an exception. I have tried a few different formats and it spews the same error.
Oddly enough the export sometimes works if the report i am previewing has the "Save data in the report" check box checked. My guess is that this is cached. Also when i run just the subreports through my application, it works.
Things i have tried:
I installed: CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_13
I installed: CRforVS_13_0_13
Took a look at the Procmon and i could not find an access denied error
Event Viewer has no detail.
Changed Registry values of ConnectionDirectoryPath and ReportDirectoryPath to "c:\"
Code:
if (!Directory.Exists(filePath))
Directory.CreateDirectory(filePath);
string fileName = filePath + string.Format(GlobalVaraiables.FILE_SAVE_NAME, i);
cryRpt.SetParameterValue(GlobalVaraiables.FUND_DATA_KEY_PARAMETER, i.ToString());
cryRpt.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, fileName);

Thanks for your help

I don't see where you're ever setting the logons for the tables in the report and subreports. The reports with saved data are working because they already have data in them. The reports without saved data are not working because they don't know how to connect to the database.
See the Database section here Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki for more information about how to set the logons.

Hi,
See the [Rules of Engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Rules%20of%20Engagement]
What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Visual studio version you have?
Have you applied any servcie pack?
Is this on your development computer or on a deployed computer?
If on a deployed system, how was the CR runtime installed to that system?

Load report Failed, COMExpection: System cannot find the path specified

Interesting problem:
I have an application that runs on a web server (currently running it as simple test application to make solving this easier). We use a BO XI report to load data from the DB via a stored proc, then run an ExportToStream to get CSV data to return to the caller.
It all works well as long as I run the application under the NT Account logged into the Box (W2k3, R2). But when using a different account (it's a domain admin account), it fails with the following error:
System.Exception: Load report Failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClienDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.Open(Object& DocumentPath, Int32 Options)
at CyrstalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod).
The report is located on a file drive the openMethod is OpenReportByTempCopy. The Temp directory for the user (landes) exists on the box, all things seem to be in place.
Anybody know that path is specified and how to overcome this?
Thanks

Will it be possible to check this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE\SOFTWARE\Suite 11or11.5\Report Application Server\InprocServer\LocalConnectionMgr and verify if the ConnectionDirectoryPath is set to something like C:\ ?
If not, set to C:\ and see how it goes after running your app.
Cheers
Alphonse

System Cannot Find The Path Specified

I have a asp.net 2.0 application running on a windows 2k3 box. I've checked the path to ensure that it is correct, and I still get the following error. I've changed the permissions on the temp directories and at this point, I'm out of answers... any ideas?

You should try setting that concat string to a string variable and verify that you are returning what you think you are returning.
If does not seem to be a permissions issue, it just cant find the filepath.
9 out of 10 times the path returned isn't what you think it is in issues like this (or the report isn't there).

Have you change any default setting in IIS? If there is no other website running on the IIS, please try to reinstall the IIS role.

PrintOutputController::ExportEx - The system cannot find the path specified

I just converted our code from using an older Crystal Reports API for creating PDFs and print jobs (ExportToDisk() and PrintToPrinter()) to using the RAS methods. Now, when calling PrintOutputController::ExportEx(), occassionally the code generates an exception.
Our log file contains the following lines:
    calling ExportEx()...
ERROR: caught Exception in CreateReport():

We're running Crystal Reports 2008 SP4 on a Windows 2003 server (virtual server).

The only thing I can suggest is to try to add some additional logging to your application to see if you can see a pattern of which report/parameters are being used when this error is thrown.

The save for the web function has stopped working in my copy of photoshop elements 12. I get this message, " The operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified" Resetting preferences did not fix.

my os is windows 7. elements 12 worked fine for many months then save for the web stopped working

When i do file, save for web, i get an error that says " the operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified." What can fix this?

when i finish a file and try to "save for web", i get an error box saying The operation cannot be completed. The system cannot find the path Specified.
What can i do or where do i look?

ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.

hi
when i trying to install a software for example CAD Viewer software, my windows show this message : The system cannot find the path specified
i use the windows 7

What version of the CAD software are you trying to install? Is it compatible with win 7? Older installations (on older OS) installed to a different default location that win 7 does not have.

We had been getting a successful backup once or twice a week which showed completed (with no mentioned of warnings) but now it regularly shows completed with warnings as noted above.
We did a manual full backup of the DC to a different external drive a few days ago and that completed without warnings and the backup shows: E: Completed 63.38 Full - VSS Copy Backup Successful, 8/27/13 3:35 PM - 4:43 PM. Data Transferred 63.38
On a side note, we can view the logs in the windows/logs/windowsserverbackup directory but when we attempt to view the details of a log file through the Local Backup Console for any log which shows completed with errors, we get a "MMC has detected an
error in the snapin and will unload and then it shows Object referenced not set to instance of an object." The manual backup noted above that was successful is able to be viewed through the Local Backup Console without this error.
Any idea as to why this is failing during the scheduled backups? This hosts a database that we need to have regular successful backups.

Hi,
First please follow the steps below to re-register dll files. Detailed information could be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after you type each command.
3. cd /d %windir%\system32
4. Net stop vss
5. Net stop swprv
6. regsvr32 ole32.dll
7. regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
8. regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
9. vssvc /register
10. regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
11. regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
12. regsvr32 es.dll
13. regsvr32 stdprov.dll
14. regsvr32 vssui.dll
15. regsvr32 msxml.dll
16. regsvr32 msxml3.dll
17. regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Please let us know if any command failed to be performed with an error.
If issue still exists, have a try with the step it provided "VSSADMIN Resize ShadowStorage" to enlarge the shadow storage.
Also you could test to delete all old Shadow Copies by acccessing <Drive> Properties --> Shaodow Copies --> Delete Now. This will remove all your backup information so if it is not acceptable, just skip this step.

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

[Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

The system cannot find the path specified - Problems

I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can help figure out for me.
I am currently learning Java, and am working with the Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies book second edition. I have downloaded and am running the Java 6 program and am using the JCreator 3.5Pro that was recommended to run the Practice files for the Dummies book.
I have the practice files here:
C/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3/My Projects
While trying to compile one of the practice files, I get this error message:
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_mynewproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
**When I try to execute, I get this error message:**
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EchoLine
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: EchoLine

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: EchoLine. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.
When I set up the new file, and the new class, I confirmed the file path.
I know most people will ask if I am absolutely certain I put in the code in properly, and yes I did. It was a matter of copying word for word, and punctuation. I did it 100% correctly. About 12 times. I have NO idea what this means, but I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help on this.
Please keep in mind, I am slightly clueless, and really need to have any help dumbed down a bit. Lol.
As a side note, this isn't my first project, and I haven't had this problem before now.
thanks in advance. =)

So I wanted to clarify what I've done a bit more since I decided to redownload the dummies programs for the program and try again.
I will try to list my steps in order of what I did and see if I've gone wrong somewhere along the line.
I downloaded my project files from here: http://ca.dummies.com/store/product/Beginning-Programming-with-Java-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition.productCd-0764588745,navId-322469,descCd-DOWNLOAD.html
I unzipped them this time here: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\
I opened JCreator 3.5 and starting fresh, with all previous projects deleted and clicked on "Open Workspace". I chose "MyWorkspace.jcw". Right clicked MyWorkspace and chose "Add new Project" and then chose "Empty Project". As per the books instruction for the first project, I named it "MyFirstProject". My file path was: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\MyFirstProject. Which is where I upzipped the files. I added it to current workspace and clicked finish.
I then added a new class. As per the books instructions, I right clicked "MyFirstProject" and selected Add New Class. For the name, I used MyFirstJavaClass, which is what the book told me to do. My locations are the exact same as above. and I clicked on Generate new Method, as it told me to. Which it doesn't in the next few lessons, so I know this has nothing to do with it. For that and a few other reasons. Lol.
I clicked on Finish.
All I had to do was replace a single line of code. Not type it all in this time.
Here is what shows up on the screen:
class MyFirstJavaClass {
     * Method main
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO: Add your code here
I need to change the : // TODO: Add your code here
with the line:
System.out.println.("Chocolate, royalties, sleep");
When I do this, and compile project, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_myfirstproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
AGAIN! But it worked a few days ago.
And when I execute, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyFirstJavaClass
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: MyFirstJavaClass

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: MyFirstJavaClass. Program will exit.

Process completed.
I really hope the extra info helps someone help me!
thank you!
