Description thomas.lange 2009-06-19 09:44:17 UTC

Extensions can not be installed if the overall path to the installed extension
gets too long. There are two versions to reproduce the problem
1) give the extension a rather large name (e.g. 50+ characters)
2) the installation path of the Office is already quite long

It might be possible that similar problems apply to 'normal' document handling
as well.

This problem seems to be Windows-only specific.

A possible solution might be to use the GetShortPathNameW from the Windows API.
By doing that one can (once again) obtain file handles that can be used with
fopen and the like, even if the path name is long.
