Cause

We have seen that the CABI media (CABI_DVD10110543M) was copied to a long path, making use of sub folders structure containing spaces and accents

E.g.:

c:\atualização 14.1\CABI\CABI_DVD10110543M.iso

 

Resolution

In order to avoid such problems when configuring CABI, you should create a short folder structure, as follows:

c:\installers141\CABI_DVD10110543M.iso

After doing it, the CABI configuration should complete with success.
