Maxify 5420 software & mp drivers could not be installed. Get a message that pathfile is too long. Try to shorten to 180 characters.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Greetings,
Where are you saving the downloaded file?
The error indicates a path depth problem but windows has long allowed more than 255 characters.
Please save the installer file to your desktop and run it from there.
If there are other circumstances, we are not aware of that you can share, this might be helpful.

Hi, VK!
So that the Community can help you better, we need to know exactly which operating system is running on your computer (i.e. Windows or macOS, and which version thereof). That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!
If this is a time-sensitive matter, click HERE search our knowledge base or find additional support options HERE.
Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks for the reply. I used the older 2021 version and it works on my laptop Windows 10 Home. I also had problems when I had to reinstall on my desktop Windows 10 Pro. I then made changes to Local Group Policy Editor and changed length of path. If I run into problems again I will remember your suggestion. Thanks again.
