K2000 Driver Recache issue
Hi
I am having an issue with the drivers recache on our k2000 box. I used the driver harvesting tool and loaded the drivers. when i go to recache them on the k2000 i get the following error under appliance maintenance. Error: DevicePath is too long; try flattening driver directories or reducing length of directory names.
i've checked all the folder paths and all of them are under 150 chars. i dont understand what i need to flatten.
any ideas?

Remove the driverharvest folder and then add in the ini files manually to your desired folder. I would also recommend using Double Driver instead of the driver harvesting utility. http://www.boozet.org/dl.php?product=dd&mirror=2
did you drill down to the deepest subdirectory?
open a command window on your windows tech station and connect to the kbox
run tree \\ikbox\drivers and \\ikbox\drivers_postinstall
see if you have any deep dirs you missed
thanks for the answers. i ran a program called treefile size which searched the directory and all sub directories. at first some of them were about 190 chars long, so i shortened them to less than 150 (includes the servername)
i will try and remove the harvest folder and add the ini's and see what happens.
thanks again
removed the driver harvest folder completely and im still getting the error. I ran the tree command on all the directories and nothing is longer than the 150 chars.
anyone got any other ideas?

Hmm, very strange. Have you rebooted the K2000? If not I would try that. Also be sure to run that tree tool against the entirety of the drivers share, not just a single directory. - mpace 10 years ago
