575895 2007-08-02 23:33:00 Hello members
I get the error:error "0x80040705 string access out of bounds" when I want to install the Brother MFC 7820n suite for the network machines.
Both machines are freshly installed XP PRo SP2 systems. I checked the installshield version and it is 9.
Please can someone give me a hint how to deal with this problem so I can install the printers.
Thanks

This is the usual cause.

I am installing on the second machine while connecting to the network printer over the Lan? If it exceeds the 300 characters I would not know?
How can I find that out? And if so(exceeding 300), how can I help/change it? Or does it have anything to do with Installshield?

575898 2007-08-03 08:23:00 If you are installing on the actual PC, that should not be the problem.

Only if you had a very long pathname from a driver install fileset deep within a directory structure on a server on a network would it combine with any file name on the install to exceed the 300 character limit.

Given that it's a Brother printer, good luck though. I tossed a 3820CN due to poor quality and the installed software simply would not uninstall. Never again...
