Using Windows XP Professional, SP2 with IE 7.0 SP2

I am installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g V. 10.1.2.0.2. During the
process, it shows an Error Message "The environment setting for the path on
this machine is too long. The path may not be longer than 1023 characters in
length. Please change the environment setting for the path to a value that is
less than 1023 characters in length".

I checked the My computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variable>Path
(From System Variable) -> Values

The value (Path) looks like this below. The word count shows 1015 words. How
to complete my 10g installation process? If I choose cancel, this will not
install the component. Please help.

This is a Windows Media Center group, this question doesn't seem to have
anything to do with Media Center.

My thought would be to contact Oracle, as it would seem their setup program
is creating the path name that is too long.

If your folder destination path is too long(more than 255characters in
Windows),you can came across a long path error.You can fix it with
additional softwares like Long Path Tool.
