SYMPTOMS

When you run Setup and select a destination folder for Team Manager, you may receive the following message:

The specified folder: '<folder location>' is invalid, incomplete, too long, or write-protected. Enter a full path with a drive letter; for example, 'C:\APPS.'

CAUSE

The message may occur even if the folder path is a complete, valid location, and is not write protected. This problem occurs when you specify a folder location that contains more than 58 characters on a computer that is running Windows NT 3.51. A similar problem may occur when you specify a destination folder that has a long path on a computer that is running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, type a path that contains fewer than 59 characters.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
