Question

Hello,

Error 1325.„SharePointData” is not a valid short file name

does anyone know why this error is appearing during uninstallation of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0?

Thanks

Have you re-installed SharePoint or moved it about? Something similar happens with Office:

and is cleaned up by Windows Installer Cleaner.
