Tried to import a MSI package, fails every time. Checked the log and the FQ file name was too long…
An error occurred while attempting to install the BizTalk application: Failed extracting CAB files.
Client requested abort.
Failed to extract file “…Header Extraction Policy-1.2VocabularyBREPipelineFramework.SampleInstructions.ContextInstructions1.3BREPipelineFramework.SampleInstructions.xml”. (Length=282)
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I exported a new MSI but only containing the assemblies and no policies etc …and the import into BizTalk Server => succeeds.
So for the future, I will import the policies and voc’s using the BRE Deployment Wizard…
