Not a valid URL: Unexpected character found - Installation of SLD

During the installation of SAP Solution Manager 4.0 Support Release 3 I am installing a local SLD (this is a test environment). When at the "Configure System Landscape Directory" phase of the installation I get the following error, java.net.MalformedURLException: Not a valid URL: Unexpected character found ['-' at position 18].
Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
But yet, it fails every single time.
This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

Have a nice day
PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid. The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
Any other ideas?
I haven't had any answers from any other forums either, so I'll just post my log file in case anyone wants to look at this:

Setup not a valid Win32 app

I just cleaned out my HD and reinstalled Windows XP. In trying to install iTunes I get a message saying that the ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 app, and the installation doesn't happen.

Most folks have seen this caused by bad wireless router settings. They connected directly to their cable modem and were able to download a valid setup file, after bypassing the wireless router. Perhaps that will work for you.
Another idea is to find a friend who was able to download it successfully, and copy iTunesSetup.exe from their PC to a USB stick, so you can get it on your PC.

Hi,
I have a MBP 13' Late 2011 and Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1514).
Until yesterday, I was using Garmin ConnectIQ SDK and all was working fine.
Yesterday, I've updated my system with latest security updates and Xcode updates too (Version 6.2 (6C131e)).
Since, I can't launch the ConnectIQ simulator app, I have this message in console :

I guess it is a normal format but my system seems to be unable to read binary plist ?
I tried some stuff with plutil
plutil -lint Info.plist

Same for convert
plutil -convert xml1 Info.plist
Info.plist: Property List error: Unexpected character b at line 1 / JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.
I also try to download a fresh version of the connectIQ SDK and no changes.
Any idea ?

"not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
Symptoms
While upgrading or uninstalling a Windows software application (such as iTunes for Windows or QuickTime for Windows), you may receive one of the following error messages:
file name is not a valid short file name
The folder path 'folder name' contains an invalid character.
... where file name could be the name of any file, and folder name could be the name of any folder.
In the case of software that uses advertised shortcuts (such as recent versions of iTunes for Windows or Safari for Windows), the messages may also appear when attempting to launch software that has already been installed.
Resolution
The error messages are usually caused by damage to the installation database for the application. Clearing the installation database for the application by using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility can usually get you past the error message.
(1) Click [here|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301] first, and read the important information about the utility.
(2) Click the *Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now* link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
(3) Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
(4) 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.
(5) Select the software you're getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message for from the list and click Remove.
(6) Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
(7) If you have multiple entries for the software you're getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message for, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other entries for the software.
(8) Click Exit.
(9) Restart the computer.
If you were getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message when trying to upgrade or launch software, now try reinstalling the latest version of the software.
If you were getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message when just trying to uninstall software, program files for the software in question will remain on the PC after it has been removed by the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you want to remove leftover program files, check in at the appropriate forum at [Apple Discussions|http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1] and ask which files can be safely removed.

Do you want to provide feedback on this User Contributed Tip or contribute your own? If you have achieved Level 2 status, visit the User Tips Library Contributions forum for more information.

Go to Microsoft website to fix installer file problems.
Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

Can't open PDF. Program does not have valid digital signature. No valid Acrobat S/N found.

I recently bought new HP computer with Windows 7. I loaded my Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Illustrator tries to open then just disappears. I can not open PDF's. Get the following message: This program doesn't have valid digital signature that verifies it's signature. No valid Acrobat S/N found. Acrobat will now quit. Then: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit and try again. When I exit - computer locks up.

These can be frustrating.
Try restarting your PC.
Using a different browser.
There have been reports that this can be due to router problems.
A simple way round it is to get a friend to download the installer for your and put it on a USB stick.

ERROR: Archive found, but is not a valid Flash archive

Hello,
I have created flash archive file and tried to install a new server using it. Both servers are exactly the same type of servers.
While installing I get the following message:
ERROR: Archive found, but is not a valid Flash archive
The message appears despite the method of installation: http, ftp, nfs.
The source server is using Solaris 10 10/08 (the latest).
Did anybody faced similar problem ?

Installation error 1325 Templates is not a valid short name

Installing the latest XE on Windows 2000 with 1 GB of RAM. I get the message 'Error 1325 Templates is not a valid short file name'. (I'm installing as administrator by the way.)
I've checked the forum and found one hit for this problem. I have been over to Microsoft.com (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328162) and got the download for the installer clean up utility.
When I run this utility, I do not get an option to clean up Oracle XE anywhere - so I cannot proceed any further with the install.
I have had a previous version of XE installed, but I received a few errors during running of the scripts so I had to manually run the failed scripts and all was well. Unfortunately, I have had to remove it (it killed the PC as I only had 256 MB of RAM back then) but now I cannot re-install.
Anyone got any ideas about how I can get past this error please?
Thanks,
Norman.

I have finally found the solution. The problem affected all subsequent installations of any app using an MSI installer.
The registry entry for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\UserShellFolders\Templates was defined as %USERPROFILE%\Templates with a type of REG_SZ. Unfortunately, because of the %USERPROFILE% part, it should have been a REG_EXPAND_SZ to get the expansion of the environment variable.
Using REGEDT32 (Regedit doesn't allow the type to be specifically chosen) navigate to the above location and note down the Template setting. Delete the Template value. (Edit->Delete when Templates is highlighted.
Now Edit->Add Value.
Enter Templates as the name.
Choose a Type of 'REG_EXPAND_SZ'
Click OK.
Type in the value you noted down earlier, probably %USERPROFILE%\Templates
Click OK.
Check it and exit from the regedt32 app.
Now, double click on the OracleXE.exe file to install it. You do not need to be an administrator to do this.
If you do try to install as an administrator, you will have to redo all of the above because you only changed it for your own login.
Trying to Shift+Right-Click and Run as to install as an administrator will continue to give you the same error that I originally reported.
I suspect that another method of changing the registery is simply to change the %USERPROFILE% part of the original REG_SZ entry to the fully expanded path to something like c:\documents and settings\username\.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Norman.

The data source "....." referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found

Greetings,
I have an InfoPath 2013 form that uses an external data connection. The data connection became corrupt (somehow, no one knows who changed what). A user went in to InfoPath designer and created a new data connection and changed all references
to use that new data connection. Now the form cannot be published at all with the error
"The data source "GetUserProfileByName" referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found"
The new data source they created is GetUserProfileByName2 and changed all references.
Of course, since it is broke, they asked me to see if I can find the issue. I went through the form looking to see if they missed any references to the old data connection and can't find anything.
Where is InfoPath storing the old data connection information and where can I remote it? I looked in the manifest and don't see it there either.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
There are many XML schema files for the data connection, I recommend to check if the references to the XML files have been changed to the new schema files in the manifest file.
For example, if we create a data connection called GetUserProfileByName, then there will be one XML file and three XML schema files for the data connection.
Please make sure that all the references are updated in the manifest file.
Thanks,
Victoria

Just updated firefox. While trying to run it show error message : "The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\sqlite3.dll is not a valid Windows image.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls. After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url. Need help.

Hi
Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

Pallavi,
Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

Can anyone please suggest under what cases we get this error.
When I monitor the request soap message using AXIS handlers, the soap
message seems to be valid and well-formed. The EJB deployment on WAS
4.0 is successfully and it can be successfully accessed by a ejb

I am having similar problem. Did you find the solution for this
thanks

I cannot upgrade itunes 10.1 or higher on Windows xp. I get the file 'C:\...AppleSoftwareUpdate\' is not a valid installation pkg for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation pkg in a folder for which u can intsall iTunes. Can't find folder. Now ?

This is getting frustrating, it won't let me upgrade. I get to a certain point where it tells me iTunes.msi is not a valid installation package for the product.
What do I need to do? I have bought a new Ipod & I have to update before I can download to my Ipod.

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?
