Trying to install Cisco Jabber: "Error 1320. The specified path is too long"

Question

I am trying to install Cisco Jabber 11.8.4 Build 52954 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate. During the installation, I get the error message:

Error 1320. The specified path is too long
C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Sennheiser

How can I fix this issue?

Solution

You can do the following:

• Move C:\ProgramData\Application Data to some of the folder
• Retry installing Cisco Jabber

It will create a new folder in C:\ProgramData containing:

Application Data
└───Sennheiser
    └───SDKCore
        ├───Logs
        └───PDS
                SecomSFSDK.dat [610 bytes]

You can rename Application Data (or move it somewhere else), and move the original Application Data back to C:\ProgramData\Application Data.

In my case, SecomSFSDK.dat contains:
