Installation Error with Windows Path

This documentation is an older version of JasperReports Server Community Project Installation Guide. View the latest documentation.

If the path of the war archive exceeds the maximum length allowed by Windows, you'll get an error message like the one shown below.

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:ProgramFilesJavajdkx.x.x_xxjrebinjava.exe": CreateProcess error=206, The filenameor extension is too long        at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:460)        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:593)[/code]

You'll need to move the war archive to reduce the path length. More information is available from Microsoft at:
