Well, then you have no options given the OS and software.
I have not used Turbocad. I assume you normally install it to a root folder. Try changing the path to C:\program files\ turbocad.
That assumes you are using C drive for porgrams.

as a temp work-around, i have installed to win95 and then moved turbocad folder to nt4 hard disk. works, but lacks ability to save turbocad settings between sessions. i'm still working on making a normal install in nt4; looks like this long path problem is common. microsoft has hotfix, but i don't want to surrender and pay. thanks for the help. -denis

another work-around for install : a clean install of win2k to a new hard drive and installation went fine. looks as though making turbocad the first install after win2k avoids (not fixes) the "too long ...) issue.
