Ignoring the technical focus for a minute: Doesn't anyone there know how to use short paths? Can't someone at IBM modify the installation to prevent the use of long pathnames if the product can't handle them? This is installation code for an IBM product, not a hack by some kid who writes Java code to work his way through school. Why do people tolerate an issue like this from one release to another? This is UD v7 and UV v10 in 2008, not v1 in 1995 (pre-long-path). I know at least one U2 administrator here that has site protocols about putting data into the C drive. I can see a lot of sites not accepting defaults and just needing to know that there are issues with spaces in paths. I keep all data in a separate \Data path anyway, separating databases from the software that runs under them. I can understand if the U2 DBMS' don't like spaces in paths to data, but there's no excuse for such restrictions on the OS code and admin utilities. > remove.thisNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/09/u2upgrade1.html > Thanks to those who have helped on this so far.
