Installing Autodesk suite 2015 Error: current directory path is too long.

[Anonymous]

I downloaded the 4 parts of the installations files, extracted them to D:\Autocad setup files\

This went fine.

Tried to install the suite and each install failed giving the error above (Error: current directory path is too long. Setup quits).

So...I renamed the extracted folder and the old folder name turned up in the error message.

So...I deleted that extracted folder (restarted the machine) and extracted the files again and did not change the default (C:\Autodesk)

I tried to install and the error was the same as the first i.e. it listed the original extracted folder as being too long. (D:\Autocad setup files\.....)

Is there a .ini that gets saved where this path is saved???

Hi,

Which Suite is it?

Which file is it that has a too long path?

Hi. Thanks for the response, it worked out I was reading the log incorrectly. The log was a continuous log. When I renamed the folder it got past that issue but I didn't see it at the bottom of the log. The other times I tried (and failed) to install were because I had to install with admin rights on the work PC. Once I did that all went ok:)

You could third party softwares to rename a folder with a long path.

I suggest to try Long Path Tool to be able to rename, copy or delete any file in Windos.
