Error message during the SharePoint Server 2007 installation process: "The data location path is too long"
When you type a data location path during the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 installation process, you may receive the following error message:
The data location path is too long. Enter a path with fewer than 155 characters.
You receive this error message even if the data location path that you typed has fewer than 155 characters.
This problem occurs because the Setup program for SharePoint Server 2007 supports a data location path that has 139 or fewer characters. Because file names will be associated with this path, we recommend that you use a data location path that has 115 or fewer characters.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
