The directory name is incorrect
I got a bad virus some time ago and after I got to dissolving a ton of weird stuff that happened as I can't install new programs I get the error "directory name is invalid" when I try to run the application to install.
If necessary, do all the work with Malwarebytes in Safe Mode with network.
To get into Safe Mode with network, press F8 at the Power On / boot and use key arrow upward to get into SafeMode with networking from the list of options, and then press ENTER.

In my 1st answer, there is a link for access to the logs for SFC.
And for the installation of repair, you will need to borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also some info on the factory settings:
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.
There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Hello George,.
We rely on the LogFilter agent to monitor files that reside in the bearing of the directories. If you deploy this agent and then change the properties, so that you will see an entry for check Log - 1 way and especially in your case a selection check the Log - 1 subdirectories. If you do this, Yes, then the search will be for the last file-day although there are in the subdirectories.
Otherwise said, in your case go back a directory and search for the particular file name and the LogFilter will search for the sub - directories and find the most recent, even if file name your directories to change names every day.

My colleague from shared files with me through a flash drive, but a number of its pdf files included a period in the name of the file, and now I can not open them. Is there a way to solve this problem on my end? He is a colleague busy, and I don't want to ask him to pass through and rename all its files.
Files with a period have the same name (next to this period) than the others
files in the same folder? If Yes, then you can ignore them, they just Mac
stay, no real PDF files.

Please help... as it is very frustrating. Thank you.
Hi sisham500,
I have two ideas before moving on to the second most radical part.
Hold the SHIFT key and run Photoshop. Here, you get a dialog asking you if you want to load third party plug-ins select 'no' and see if things get
Back to normal. Skip this step if you have not installed everything.
Open a file in Photoshop and then file > save for Web
In the SFW dialog box, press and hold down your ALT key. The Cancel button gets Reset, which click you on reset to default values.
If after that, you still get the same error message, then
I think you've done everything you can, so let's look at ' uninstall/clean/reinstall. If you have special templates or brushes, they should not be harmed.
Go over these instructions:
First be sure that you are connected to an administrator account
If necessary, do a little maintenance on your HD check for errors, disk cleanup and defragmentation.
You will need the cleaning tool. Obtain and examine the instructions use of the CC cleaning tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6
Uninstall applications Photoshop, the Director of office of CC has an uninstall option.
You will then get the cleanup tool to remove leftovers.
You can then install each application Photoshop one at a time and test SFW every time.
These are measures that if they work, you're back in business, otherwise there has been no harm fact.
