• Uninstalling SQL Server Compact 3.5 for devices error 1325.Documents is not a valid short file name.

  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.

• 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."

• ActiveSync: *.favorites is not a valid short file name *.

  Help me!!!

  I am engineer in a DoD environment.  We had a problem with title error ".favorites is not a short file name.  The error message is displayed when a typical user with any escalated authorization attempts to run ActiveSync.  ActiveSync installs and works fine using a "Domain administrator" account rights, however once the user tries to run the program it fails during installation indicating ".favorites is not a valid short file name.

  Our users do not have the right to install programs, or change the registry items, we apply DoD Stig (security technical implementation Guide)... once again, ActiveSync installed fine and runs when you use an account with permissions "Domain Admin".  When the user tries to launch activesync fails... However if I put the user in the domain admin group, run it once while it installs, then remove the user from the domain administrators group. ActiveSync works very well.

  If anyone knows how to fix this please PLEASE please help me!

  Answer for all those who get this error even regardless of the software:

  Microsoft was absolutely "No. f ' ing ' help with this one.  Here's the answer to this question;  If you are in a corporate environment, sense permissions are controlled and restricted as in a DoD, DHS, WHS, ect... The user will need permissions to two registry keys.

  (1) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]

  (2) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]

  Follow these steps, because that is what fixed the problem for me, believe me I had this problem for 3 months, after he passed to me from one of our guys in HERE that he worked for 3 itself.

  1) give the "Admin area" user rights (make sure that the user isn't here, and make sure that you run it past your people from THE first)

  (2) open a session as a user, install activesync * this is a MUST!, otherwise the HKCU registry key will not be created, this is why you get the error message indicating that the name is not a valid short file name *.

  (3) Open regedit and find the two above mentioned registry keys; and give the 'user' or 'domain users' full control of these registry keys. * If you do not, then the very next time the user connects, ActiveSync will try to re - install, you will get the error message and be back at square 1 *.

  (4) disconnect the user, remove the user from the group "Domain Admins".

  (5) test, connect you as the user, run activesync, you will not get this error again.

  (6) If you are having problems... don't think far emailing me I'll help anyone with this problem... * address email is removed from the privacy *.
