Why do I get "error 1325." Microsoft "is not a valid short file name" when I try to install the 1.41 Borderlands update? "
I am running Vista Home Premium SP2. I bought the game Borderlands of the year edition DVD (or CD, I can't remember which). To get the downloadable content, the instructions direct users to a website that says that you should update to 1.41. After downloading the update of this website (several times) and try to install (including using the suggestions on support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651), I always get "error 1325." Microsoft "is not a valid short file name"
Hi Mike l. Mpl Vly

I tried to uninstall all parts of SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 v (there were 3 parts); the third part, which is
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Devices - ENU
will not uninstall and I get an error message, which has in its title "Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Devices", (which seems to me indicate that he might be from the application itself?)
READING: "error 1325.Documents is not a valid short file name."
Is there a valid way to uninstall this, given the problem - or an another workaround?
I hope that it is not bad form to reply to my post (!), but I am pleased to announce that this Microsoft utility fixed my problem. I ran it, it looked for my system, then asked me if I wanted to uninstall or install a program, I chose to uninstall, it sought then yet once showed me a list of installed programs. I have selected SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Devices in the list. They asked me if I want to uninstall it (I think that - already done and I do not remember)-anyway, I welcomed the utility for uninstall and there was no problem. It is very useful. I don't know if the source of the error and this solution is specific to windows 7 64 bit, which is what my DELL Latitude E6530 is running, or if it is a general problem and fix. I'll never know the root cause, but at least I can go forward.

After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software. As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.
If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?
I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.
http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162
Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error. I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '. Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.
With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?
Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.
I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:
-Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data
I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.
Good luck!

Hi Artyappleshal,
· What operating system is installed on your machine?
Method 1: I suggest you check out the link that has the similar problem and the solution below is provided by MVP Linney, Star of the community as of March 13, 2010.
Method 2: If the above method does not then you can copy the contents of the DVD to the HARD disk (hard drive) and then run the install as administrator and check if it works well or not.

I updated to windows 7 using the installation disk option and it has not fixed the problem. I did it after trying several "solutions", with the exception of registry changes, found on the web, including the SFC/scannow. Nothing has worked so far.
I am pleased that you have installed Pinnacle finally.

You also backups of ALL the changes that Advanced SystemCare and Cleaner of registry CCleaner have or had ALWAYS made to your computer? [1]
If this is not the case, only a clean install of Windows can solve your problem now IMHO. No, a repair installation [upgrade on-site AKA] do not solve this problem.

[1] your misguided use of all registry cleaners certainly plays a role here.
