  • Photoshop Elements 11 will not install. It says "Error 2343. Specified Path is Empty." Can U Help?

    I purchased & downloaded Photoshop Elements 11. I installed it. Informed me some parts were missing, so I needed to uninstall it & reinstall it. I went to Programs & Features in Windows 7, & did just that. Then it informs me that it could not uninstall it properly. To try again. The program is missing now from Programs & Features. Can't find it anywhere where I can uninstall it. So, I went to Adobe to get it to uninstall. I keep getting this error; "Error 234. Specified Path is Empty" I have done everything! Cannot get it to install or uninstall. The Organizer is opening, but the Editor will not. I can't get anything to print. I have a deadline tomorrow and I cannot get any pictures to print. What am I gonna do? Can anyone please help me?

    If you haven't committed to PSE12, yet, then you should be able to download PSE/PRE11 from this website.  Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set the Adobe authorization cookie, because the downloads actually come from Adobe:

  • In trying to uninstall PSE10 and then re-install, got error message 2343:specified path is empty.  I can't continue uninstall or re-install.

    Hello.  I couldn't get my Topaz plug-ins to work (kept crashing without saving the image), so I uninstalled/reinstalled, and no improvement.  So I decided to uninstall and re-install PSE 10 to see if that would help.  I got an error message: 2343: Specified path is empty, and then the uninstall quit. That's where I am now.  Can't find it in my Control Panel Uninstall programs list, but it is still in the programs file.  Not sure if I should delete all the folders and .dll's in the program folder.  (It wasn't showing up in the Control Panel before I tried to use the disks, either.)  I'm using Windows Vista.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Nevermind.  I found it by searching Google. "Error 2343.Specified path is empty" | Install | Windows

  • Problème installation photoshop elements 12 - 'specified path is empty'

    Bonjour,
    IMPOSSIBLE de réinstaller photoshop elements 12 - je l'ai télécharger hier via la fnac, j'ai tout installé, le logiciel a fonctionné et ensuite impossible de le démarrer... J'ai donc décidé de tout désinstaller afin de l'installer une nouvelle fois mais impossible, le message suivant s'affiche : 'specified path is empty'.
    J'ai pourtant :
    - supprimé les fichiers dans "programme files"
    - Tenté de le désinstallé via "programmes et fonctionnalités" mais Photoshop n'apparaît pas
    - J'ai supprimé les fichiers via Exécuter/regedit
    - J'ai aussi téléchargé "Revo uninstaller" mais il ne trouve pas le programme Photoshop
    J'ai biensur redémarré à plusieurs reprises mon ordinateur...
    Pourriez-vous m'aider, svp ???!
    Je ne peux pas utiliser Photoshop et j'ai acheté la licence hier...

  • Specified patch is empty

    J’ai déinstaller ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Elements 10 il y a un an. J’ai voulu le ré-installer et j’obtiens « Specified path is empty »
    Que faire ? Microsoft Fixit ne résout pas le problème.
    I have de-install ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Elements 10 there one year. I wanted to re-install and I get (Specified path is empty).
    What should I do? Microsoft Fixit does not solve the problem.
    Sincerely

    Which operating system are you running on?
    How are you trying to install the application - from disc or from a download?
    You can download a copy from here to try
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    You need to download both files and save them to the same folder - I usually create a new folder to save them to. The .7Z file is the archive and the .EXE file is the extractor. When both the downloads have completed, double click on the .EXE file to start the extraction.

    Hello, everyone! I am having trouble with uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on my computer. Everytime, I try to I get a pop-up: "2343 Error: A specified path empty." I tried running Microsoft Fix-It Tool but it's unavaliable for me to use. (I'm guessing Windows 8 is incompatible at the moment.) Any help on this would be greatly appreciated ! Thank you very much !
    (I hope this question is in the right forum, this is my first time using Adobe Community.)

  • ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

    This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
    My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
    iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
    This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
    Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:"  to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
    What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
    If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
    Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

  • Database does not exist in the specified path

    Just bought a USB 6009 DAQ and for some reason I now keep getting this error: "Database does not exist in the specified path" in VI Logger 2.0.1 it was working.  Can anyone help??

    Jared,
    It sounds like VI Logger somehow lost its association with its
    database. Please open MAX and check out the "Historical
    Data"->"Citadel 5 Universe" entry. Under "My Computer" in the
    right-hand pane, you should have a database called "VI Logger Data". It
    must be spelled, spaced, and capitalized the exact same way. If you do
    not have this database (which I suspect you do not), right click on "My
    Computer" and select "Create/Attach Database..." The default database
    path (if you want to have access to your old data) is C:\Documents and
    Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\VI Logger,
    with the database name as "VI Logger Data". If you want to create a new
    database, then specify a new path.
    If "VI Logger Data" does appear, a possible fix is to detach and
    reattach it. Right click on "VI Logger Data," select
    "Detach/Delete...," and chose the "Detach" option. Finally, reattach
    the database as described above.
    Hope this helps,

  • Security.Cryptography - The specified path is invalid. while accessing the private key stored in LocalMachine store

    Hello,
    I have C# dll which is invoked through a C++ cgi executable which is deployed on apache 2.2. I am getting the following error when I am trying to access the private key of a certificate which is stored in the Localmachine store. It works fine while
    debugging in visual studio.
    It also works fine when I try to access the same certificate from the current user store through apache.
    I have tried running apache as "SYSTEM", even then I get the same error.
    I have followed the right process to import the certificate into the localmachine store through mmc. 
    Error Message:
    The specified path is invalid.

    The above error is not really helpful as it doesnt tell me which path is invalid as I am not passing any path in my code. I am just accessing the certificate through the X509Certificate2 store
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    This is probably because the worker process identity does not have read permission to the machine key store.
    And I agree with you. "The specified path is invalid" is a typical misleading message.
    You may need to clarify the difference between "SYSTEM- User" and "Current-user "through apache. Good Luck!

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
    <properties>
    <property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

  • SCCM 2012 - Adding Operating System Installer (The specified path does not contain a valid operating system ..)

    I have encountered the dreaded "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it.  Specify a valid path" message that seems to be popular in many forums .... BUT, so far none of the "solutions"
    have fixed the problem (of I don't understand the fix)
    Configuration
    SCCM 2012 SP1 5.0.7804.1000
    WADK 8.100.26629.0  < Suggested Fix
    Server 2008 R2
    SCCM Administrator with UserID = SCCMAdmin 
    Steps / Fixes I have followed
    I have configured a administrative share
    \\caleb\sources$ to hold directories (such as Apps, Drivers, and OS) with the following NTFS Permissions
    EVERYONE has Read and Execute, List folder, Read permissions<o:p></o:p>
    SYSTEM has Full Control 
    <Suggested Fix
    SCCMManagers (our group that has all SCCMManagers) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
    SCCMAdmin (the SCCM Admin account that we are using to import image) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
    Local Administrators (the local machine administrator) has Full Control 
    <Suggested Fix
    <o:p></o:p>
    Another Fix is to explicitly grant all permissions to the SCCM Administrator
    <Suggested Fix
    >Administrative Users ...
    Properties of the SCCM Administrator (for us that is SCCMAdmin) has all the boxes checked<o:p></o:p>
    Another suggestion I was able to glean was to Specify the Network Access Account
    so I configured SCCMAdmin as the Network Access Account.
    Another potential fix is that the image ISO file that has been downloaded is corrupt.   So, I downloaded the Win 7 (and Win 8.1) ISO's from MSDN and did a Checksum check.
    I then mounted the ISO (on 2008R2 I use VirtualClone Drive) and copied the contents of the image to
    E:\Sources\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896 for Windows 7 with SP1
    To double check,
    I computed the Hash on the Install.WIM located in the Sources directory and compared with
    the computed Has Tag for the Install.WIM on the ISO Image  ... and the Hash tag of the WIM's matched (extracted vs what is contained within the ISO)<o:p></o:p>
    I tried to load the images into SCCM 2012 using the "Operating System Installers" option
    UNC to installer
    \\caleb\sources$\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896
    Then I receive the lovely message <o:p></o:p>
    "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it.  Specify a valid path"<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>

  • Ugh: Error [0x800700a1] The specified path is invalid.

    I'm having the following problem.

    This is very frustrating. 
    The more I use Windows built-in backup the more fragile it seems to be. 
    The D drive is a local drive and the path is valid. 
    Running check disk finds no problems.  The drive is mostly empty. 
    I tried with and without the anti-virus software, same problem. 
     There are no other server errors to indicate a problem with the drive or the path. 
    I ran vssadmin list writers, and none of them returned any errors. 
     Why would the backup return an invalid path error, for a path that is valid? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks much,
    James.

    Hi Sriram,
    Thanks for getting back to me!
    I'll try to mail them to you before the end of the week.
    A quick question:
     if the backup failed to find and copy a single file or directory (for whatever reason), why does it abort the whole process? 
    The file in question was not critical, so having it missing from the backup would only have been a minor inconvenience. 
    Obviously, you want to log such an event very clearly, but it does not make sense to me for it to kill the whole process... 
    Will this be improved in future versions?  I have to admit, I've not seen much backup software stop because of such a trivial error, except maybe "copy" from the command prompt.
    I think the built-in Window Server 2008 R2 backup software is very promising, and overall, I like it better than the old NT Backup crud. 
    However, from my limited use, it still seems rough around the edges; too many glitches and problems, something you don't want to see from your backup software.
    Thanks much,

    I just downloaded the most recent version of the installer, but every time I run it, I get this message midway through the "Copying new files" step:
    +The specified path is too long:+
    C:WINDOWSwinsxsx86Microsoft.VC80.CRT1fc8b
    3b9a1e18e3b8.0.50727.762_x-ww6b128700
    There's no denying that it's long, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that. I mean, I'm not the one who specified the path.
    Clicking Retry just returns the same error endlessly, and clicking Cancel causes the installer to roll back all its changes and close itself.
    What gives?

    What exact version of Windows XP Pro do you have?
    Is it the standard Professional edition, or is ir Professional x64 edition? Check by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties.

  • TFS Build Error - Exception Message: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters

    I am trying to set-up CI of Orchard CMS and deploy it on Azure using TF service. I am stuck at following error for path being
    longer than 260 characters. However, when counted the total characters in path are 235. Please see the below error :

    Did anyone came across such issue while deploying Orchard on Azure with TF service? If yes, how did you sort this freaking error?
    Thanks,

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

    Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

  • Specify Remote Folder - The specified path is not a remote shared folder

    I'm getting this error when I try to check a backup stored on a NAS.  When I attempt to recover from it, I pick "A backup stored on another location" then "Remote shared folder". 
    I put in the path: \\192.168.16.17\public\server\2014-01-24
    And what I get is the above error message: "The specified path is not a remote shared folder"
    The path clearly is a remote shared folder. If I paste it into explorer it opens fine, and I can copy/delete files from it.  What gives?

    That's correct; the folder I specified above contains the WindowsImageBackup folder.  I can access that folder fine in Explorer, but when I try to direct the backup to it it gives the error I mentioned: "The specified path is not a remote shared
    folder".
    Note that the error message you receive if you specify a folder which does not contain a WindowsImageBackup folder is "The specified remote shared folder does not contain a backup. Provide the path to a remote shared folder that contains backups."
