  • Adobe Reader XI Install Error 1325 AI_RecycleBin is not a valid short file name

    Adobe 10 worked fine on my computer, when I did the update for Adobe XI I got this error.  I tried a couple of times to redownload and install with no success.  Adobe Reader 10 wouldn't work either.  I did a restore on my computer back before the Reader update and that did not get Adober Reader back to working.
    I have been through the Adobe Help & Support, and  Community.  I have used the uninstaller programs and checked anything and everything I found in those two places.  I even tried to install Reader 9 to no avail.
    I am ready for some help and ideas?

    In your post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1572490 you show message 'Documents is not a valid short file name'.  Now you have the same problem with AI_RecycleBin?

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

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.

  • Unable to install Safari 5: "not a valid short file name" error

    Hi all,
    Previous thread has been archived, but I thought I'd post an update on this issue, since we finally solved it!
    To recap, I was getting an error on trying to install Safari which said "<username> is not a valid short file name", and the installation would fail. If installing under an admin username with a shorter name, the installation would succeed, but the same error message would occur for the original user when trying to launch Safari, during the initial configuration process. The problem also plagued some other installation processes, including (for example) Adobe Acrobat updates.
    The problem turned out to be related to our redirection of user's profiles (My Documents, Application Settings etc.) to a fileserver. These are pointed to a file share named users on each office's primary file server, and this works fine for most purposes. However, we did not allow users read access to the "users" folder on the server in which their individual user directories were located (this was so users could not browse a list of employee names in this folder). This turned out to be causing the problem; by allowing read access to the folder, all the issues where cleared up.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else who may have experienced the same problem!

    Excellent news, lab.
    Many thanks for letting us know the resolution.

  • I have an older version of itunes on my L drive.  Everytime I try to download the newest version I get the error itunes.resources is not a valid short file name.  Now I obtained an iphone and cannot sync the phone to my account because it wants me to upda

    I have an older version of itunes on a separate drive.  Everytime that there has been an update to itunes it will not let me update.  Now I purchased an iphone and I hooked the phone up to the computer and it tells me I need to install the latest version of itunes.  I downloaded to try it, but I keep getting an error message that says itunes.Resources is not a valid short file name.  What can I do from here?

    That is a new one on me.
    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.

  • TS3212 i downloaded itunes on my windows 7 computer, but when i try running the setup file, it says it's not a valid win32 file. how do i fix this?

    i just bought a brand new HP computer with the windows 7 and i'm trying to download itunes on my computer. I've used the email and a new one for the download. it'll go through the process of downloading the itunes setup, but when i go to the downloads folder in my computer and click on the file, it says it's not a valid Win32 file and won't open.  I've tried downloading the 64 bit version to se if that was the problem, but even that won't work.  please help!

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Keep getting "lvanlys.d​ll is not a valid LabVIEW file"

    ugh i feel so bad cause i keep posting questions and it seems like i'm not doing anywork. let me start of by saying i spent the last 3 hours searching the forum and google and continually testing and nothing works
    basically i used lv's built in application builder to build a .exe file so i can run the program from any computer. so i successfully compile, install lv 8.0 (was compiled on 8.0) RTE onto computer and try to run and keeps giving me "lvanlys.dll is not a valid LabVIEW file". when i create the exec, lvanlys.dll is automatically put in a support folder so i don't know what the problem is
    i've tried moving around lvanlys.dll to diff directories including RTE, adding missing files as dynamic VIs, adding separate files into project instead of lib, and combinations of them none work. reinstalled RTE. one build the errors i got was "to fix this error must use full development version". i don't really understand what that means...i have to install the entire VI instead of just the RTE?
    another thing, the computer that this doesn't work on originally had 6.1 installed. i just installed the 8.0 RTE engine over it. i have tried replacing lvanlys.dll and didn't work. tested with couple other computers without 6.1 and it worked fine. computer i am on now has 6.1 and 8.0 and it works fine. so i'm stumped
    //EDIT: oh i forgot, a lot of threads say "create a installer". is that just using the application builder builtin to create an exec or what exactly does it mean?
    Message Edited by unknown00 on 06-07-2007 04:18 PM

    Some questions:
    Did you install only the 24MB runtime engine of the 87MB version of RTE 8.0? You need to install the big thing.
    Is it possible you are including the 6.1 version of lvanlys.dll instead of 8.0?
    In 8.0, Builing an executable and creating an installer is both done on a LabVIEW project.
    Building the executable does just that.
    If you built an installer, you package everything up for distribution, optionally include the RTE and other support files, etc. Later running the installer, will put  everything in its right location, e.g. the executable in the "program files" hierarchy, a shortcut in the start menu, etc.

  • 'iTunesMiniplayer.Resources' is not a valid short file name

    -deep inhale-
    up until about a month ago i'd used my ipod as a hard drive so i could have iTunes wherever i went. i installed it using my brother's PoS computer (i dunno the specs but it's running windows XP)and it was assigned to drive (F:)
    as soon as i got my netbook i saw no need to keep the program installed on the ipod so i deleted it. now he has an ipod and wants to eliminate cds from his life, but there's one problem: the computer still says itunes is installed at (F:) and will not uninstall or repair. about 4 minutes into the 'installation', an error window pops up saying "'iTunesMiniplayer.Resources' is not a valid short file name."
    six attempts later the installer pops up and asks where to install. as i go to change the location from (E:) another error window tells me that "'(E:)' is not a valid destination. Please choose a new destination." Clicking ok causes the installer to finish and it too warns me of a 'fatal error during installation' and to try again later. i've been stuck at this point for half an hour.
    how do i avoid buying an external disk drive for my netbook to upload his music onto his ipod?

    See if the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will get rid of itunes.
    Then try the install again.

  • ""iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources" is not a valid short file name" error

    I was having problems launching iTunes from my desktop shortcut (from a Western Digital external drive). For some unidentified reason, my computer now recognizes this drive as G: instead of F:. To fix the shortcut, I opened up iTunes directly from the drive. I got an iTunes Setup Assistant message that says "Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to be able to retrieve CD information from the Internet, you need to reinstall iTunes. When I tried to uninstall iTunes using "Programs and Features" I get an error message, saying ""iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources" is not a valid short file name". To see if the problem was with the drive, I disconnected it and tried to download iTunes (from Apple.com) to my C: drive. (Local Disk). The same error occurred. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    +For some unidentified reason, my computer now recognizes this drive as G: instead of F:.+
    Windows has a nasty habit of reassigning drive letters on you when different USB devices are plugged in. The easiest thing might be to assign F: to your exHD permanently. Restart your PC afterwards and try itunes again.

  • Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

    Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
    web application’s User Policy.  I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
    Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
    Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
    Click “Data” tab.
    Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
    Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
    Click Next.
    Windows Security window pops up.
    Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
    Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
    I get below this error messages: 
    Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
    InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
    The file is not a valid XML file.
    Not enough storage is available to process this command.
    We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Brian_TX,
    For your issue, try to the following methods:
    Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
    Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
    There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

  • Input file not a valid archive

    Hi
    Originally the application was written in CVI 6.0. I have now created a completly new project and workspace and added all the files.
    The compilation works fine. But the error message I get when linking (build) is " error: Input file is not a valid archive: 'c:\Projects\........\bin\i7000.lib'. "
    With another library I get the same problem: "uart.lib"
    The other lib-files just work fine.
    I saw in an old post a solution: to just recreate the project which I did. But it didn't work in my case.
    Any help? 
    Cheers Andreas
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     Hi Maha
    Thanks for your investigations.
    The LIBs I use "i7000.lib" resp. "i7000.dll" and "uart.lib" resp. "uart.dll" have an age of about 10 years AND are from a vendor/manufacturer that doesn't support these LIBs anymore.
    So first of all we don't have access to the original c code and therefore can't compile/build any new LIB. And most probably they were not made with CVI.
    Then as a second thought: these LIB/DLLs follow the standard and conventions of a microsoft LIB/DLL. So this should be some standard interface, even for CVI.
    Third, I think there are 1000s of such old (Microsoft standard) libraries still in use all over the industry. Therefore I cannot understand why CVI 2013 is not capabable of linking them to the rest of the code.
    Maybe I miss something in my thoughts. Like you mention already an older CVI is not a solution for us. Do you see maybe the possibility of another workaround?
    For your understanding I attach the 2 LIBs in a zip-file. Maybe it helps?
    Anyway have a nice wekend.
