Anyone else have a story about unhelpful error messages?Got an error message "an invalid directory pathname was passed" during SQL Server 2014 install, when specifying the service accounts.The cause was entering the account with a forward slash instead of a backslash. Usually I do these from home on my 23" monitor but this was done at a client with a 12" laptop screen, so did not notice the difference.Domain/account produced a invalid directory message.Domain\account is the correct format.
