I’ve done the fixes suggested by the Microsoft Community:

  • Setting the registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled (Type: REG_DWORD) to 1
  • Adding Enable Win32 long paths in the Local Computer Policy: Computer Configuration: Administrative Templates: All Settings
  • Performing gpupdate and rebooting the system after these changes


I am incapable of implementing another solution recommended by the Microsoft Community:

The application manifest must also include the longPathAware element.

XMLCopy

<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">

<ws2:longPathAware>true</ws2:longPathAware>

</windowsSettings>

</application>

Is there anything else I can try?
