To do this the user had to enable the group policy entry "enable NTFS long paths" under Computer Configuration -> Admin Templates -> System -> FileSystem:
Applications that support long paths must have this entry in the application manifest:
Code: Select all
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<longPathAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">true</longPathAware>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
