Windows has a path-limit of 255 characters.

Is there no solution to this?

darko-pilav commented 9 years ago

There are some somewhat cumbersome solutions but I would suggest you copy/move your KSP folder to somewhere where the path is shorter.

Alternatively you could use the "subst" command in cmd to substitute a path with a drive letter (as can be seen here).

i.e. "subst Y: C:\Example\File\Path"

and use the substituted drive letter.
