An unnamed file contains an invalid path

Hi. I'm using Flash CS3 on Windows XP Pro (SP3) and for the
past two weeks, when attempting to save a file, I've been getting a
dialog which is headed as "Adobe Flash CS3" and reads: "An unnamed
file contains an invalid path. OK" After clicking OK, the dialog is
dismissed but the Flash ui does not respond. Quitting Flash and
restarting it again is OK - Flash behaves "normally". This issue
does not occur every time I try to save a document - but it has
occurred every time I've used Flash. It does not occur for any
other CS3 application. I have tried to uninstall and re-install
Flash. (Same issue.) I have also tried to re-install all of CS3.
(Same issue.) I use McAfee Security Center and have scanned the
system twice without finding any issues. I have run a checkdisk on
the hard disk drive and also defragged the hard disk drive. None of
these things has changed the behaviour. Can anyone offer any
advice?

Datechkw window - odbcinst.cnt contains an invalid path

HI !
I've already installed oracle client 8.0.5 in several nt4 workstations with a cd reader and everything went ok.
Now I want to install it in workstations without cd reader.
I tried 2 things: access through a network share to another cd drive, and the other thing was to copy the entire cd contents
to my nt4 server and that shared it with full control to everyone.
One way or the other, when I start to install the client, I always get the error "my_server\my_share\win32\odbc32\ODBCINST.CNT contains an invalid path", in a window wich title is "datechkw".
What is the problem here ? Am i executing the wrong files, or will I have to edit that odbcinst.cnt file ?
Any help apreciated.
Thanks.

For OA Pages, the way help is rendered is this
1. Developers use a help target attribute and give a specific name for a specific page
2. Doc team uses this help tag in the help pages they build
3. The help doc is uploaded into fnd_lobs by the patch using FNDGFU program
4. When help is launched, fndhelp.jsp (in $OA_HTML) is used and the help target from the page is passed as a url parameter
5. fndhelp.jsp then looks up the doc in the database (fnd_lobs) with the help of fnd_help_targets and fnd_help_documents tables.
So if you want custom help to be rendered instead of seeded oracle help, please try uploading the help doc in the database (use FNDGFU) and then change the help targets in the related tables mentioned above.
Thanks

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

My iTunes Music Library.xml includes 2 location paths for files

A while ago, I copied and consolidated my itunes-songs from internal drive c: to internal drive f:
I changed the location of my "itunes library" accordingly to look at f:... - all went well and all songs were playing from the new location (I thought).
However, after a while I decided to delete the OLD physical location of the mp3-files on c: and now about 2.000 songs in my iTunes are missing and have the well know "!" mark in front of them.
Now, in the itunes music library, there are 2 different locations for my songs listed - although there is only 1 location given in the settings.
Most songs are - where they should be - at localhost/f:/....
But the missing songs still are listed at localhost/c:....
Apart from the fact that I am still searching for the songs (have emptied the trash since) - how in the world can the itunes library still contain 2 different paths?
Any ideas?

One point where this seems to occur consistently is if you reboot or turn off Windows while iTunes is running, and have a largeish music collection.
Explanation: Programmatically, iTunes main window apparently responds OK (=TRUE) to the Windows WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and at the same time starts to write the *.ITL and *.XML files to the hard disk. Meanwhile, Windows continues to end the session because - after all - it was OK'ed by iTunes. Now, if the iTunes music library is "large enough", Windows will finish ending the session before iTunes has finished writing said files, and the next time you run iTunes they'll turn up corrupt. This is a huge caveat during iTunes reinstallation, because most of the time a reboot is needed whilst iTunes will necessarily be running at the same time (consequently, if you have a largeish music library, always back up the *.XML and *.ITL files before reinstalling or updating iTunes!!!!)
This is nearly an elementary bug, and a sad indication of the level of testing done by the Apple to products before they're released.
Workarounds: I myself just frequently backup the *.ITL and *:XML files to a different directory, and restore if file corruption occurs. Another workaround is to have another program (say, Notepad.exe) with an edited but unsaved file currently open. When Windows session ends, you will have one extra chance to delay the session end, so that either you remember to close iTunes first, or if iTunes was closed first, it'll have enough time to complete writing the library metadata back to disk.
Asian and European phone giants have nothing to afraid about iPhone, if iTunes and iPod classic are any indication of its quality.

ITunes fails to install update "folder path program files contains an invalid character"

I'm trying to get the newest version of itunes, but I keep getting "the folder path program files contains an invalid character." I've seen on here before attempts to use Microsoft fix it and Windows Clean up which I've tried and both haven't helped. I've gone to youtube and tried to delete the appropriate folders under the registry edit. Nothing seems to work. I need the new itunes to update my iphone because of the recent hardware crash via the new update.

At what stage in the process does this occur?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

'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.
PS. Replies can be posted in this thread, otherwise even sent to me via email if you wish to do otherwise. My email address is: [email protected]
cheers

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).

SSMS 2012:FOR XML PATH Using XPath Node Tests-Columnn name 'test()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML?

Hi all,

I feel this xml output is not like the regular xml output. Do you know why it is diffrent from the regular xml xml output? Please comment on this matter.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT
p.NameStyle AS "processing-instruction(nameStyle)",
p.BusinessEntityID AS "Person/@ID",
p.ModifiedDate AS "comment()",
pp.PhoneNumber AS "text()",

INNER JOIN Person.EmailAddress e
ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.PersonPhone pp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
FOR XML PATH('ElementName'),ROOT('RootName');
replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

Assuming here you're uninstalling as part of troubleshooting for installing a newer version of iTunes.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Folder path "My Tunes" contains an invalid character.

When trying to install the latest version of ITunes I get the message "the folder path My Tunes contains an invalid character. I click ok and then it says try again later, but later is always the same. I've tried to delete the whole thing to start from scratch but it won't let me. Something got messed up when I put the program into an external hard drive. What should I do next?

"The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside "My Music" folder.
okay ... the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

Hi Barbara,
I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7, who like myself was a newbie on this platform, b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.

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.
Does an itunes install go through properly after that?
