  • "Path too long" error during extraction solution zipped

  • Destination path too Long

    I get the following dialog box 'Destination path' too long when you try to copy my photos from my Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme 2 TB portable hard drive.  I tried to move more than 450 GB of files (that are jpg, cr2 or psd file formats) and received the above message. Tried to go on a smaller subset of 200 GB but I got the same message. The dialog also contained the following text "You can shorten the file name and the tr again, or try a location with a shorter path".  This message truncates the copy process.

  • When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

    Hello

    Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
    And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

    http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html

    I don't know what to do!

    Original title: destination path too long?

    The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

    The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

  • Path too Long for the Installation of the software

    I am trying to install a version of the CAD software to one of my PCs employee.  When we run the Setup file, we get an error message too long file path.  The message says that the file path is 99 characters long, but the limit is 93.  This seems like a terribly low limit for a C: drive.

    The path goes only in a folder as well.  Thus, its C:/Program Files/Autodesk / "name of file along here."

    I understand long path problems when you go deep in several folders and the typical character limit is 254.  I do not understand why we are running in a limited issue when you have only a single deep folder on the C: drive and only have 99 total characters in the path.  Is this a problem of windows 8?  Or maybe a problem with the PC itself?  Is it possible to change the limit of characters on the C: drive since 93 is so short and also seems to be a random number?

    Justin

    Your best bet is to contact the CAD developer, we would have no way of knowing how many levels deep the software installs.

  • Path too long to remove

    I have a folder that contains subfolders that create a path that is too deep to remove...  It has a structure like: Pictures\Documents\My Pictures\Documents Documents\My... etc of the infinite that I see...  This is not the default My Documents or my pictures special folders in the profile but are located in a separate HARD disk area.

    I've renamed 30 or if for just a\b\c\d\e\f... then I fail to rename folders that Explorer can see... When I try to delete the last folder in my opinion, it says the path is too long.

    Anyone know of any free tool that allows you to remove this invalid structure.  I don't want to pay for anything, since it will be a single use and will probably never reuse the product...

    I tried to map a network drive to a level about 30 deep...  I tried the subst command... Nothing works and I get the same error that the path is too long.

    Thank you

    Bryan

    A ran chkdsk and had no errors at all...  I finally solved it with a utility called DelInvFile.   Analysis of the folder with this utility, revealed the 747 levels of subfolders.   He took care of all of them and deleted the whole tree in about 5 minutes...

    Thank you

  • In Event Viewer, is it possible to see Destination path too Long

    I want to know if there is a way, in the event viewer, see the list of files whose names are too long.  I write down everyone who needs to be changed, but a log file that I could print would be much faster.  If I CUT and paste, then the long named files would remain, but it is a copy.  So, I must go back and find one by one.  Not having to write simply would make it faster.

    Thank you!

  • I can't delete a folder: path too long

    I have a deep folder structure and can not remove it.  Is there a tool that I could use?  I can't believe that Windows XP doesn't have a tool or a command to do this.

    One more thing that might work is to use the program "Robocopy " (robust copy) of Microsoft.  This program will certainly deal with files that have paths exceed 255 characters, but it's basically a copy program.  I hope that you could turn into a removal program by specifying the switch "/ MOVE" (so that it deletes the source files after copying) and maybe see if you can move/copy the file into the bit bucket "ZERO:  If Robocopy does not appear on your system, you can get to withoutTechnical Resource Kit .

    In addition, somewhere I think I read that you can specify long paths if you use the "\?". "------" syntax.  When you use it well, you must specify the name of full path from the drive letter, as in:
    «\\?\C:\Documents and Settings\User\...» »
