Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote proposes a solution to a installation problem of IBM® Rational® XDE™ Tester.
Symptom
During deployment you select "Enterprise deployment" to create a release area on a network drive. You specify the network drive in UNC format:
\\host_name\shared_folder\
Still you get the error message. The Microsoft installer raises an error 1314:
Error 1314 'the specified path (\\...) is unavailable'
If you do the same thing on the local machine, instead of a network drive, yields a more appropriate error:
1320 'the specified path is too long'.
Cause
The path specified is too long.
Resolving The Problem
Use a shorter path.
