arduinoidegalileo is based on Arduino and released by Intel for their Galileo development board.

The package is released as an archived 7z.

The chocolatey package installs the 7z to $Env:ChocolateyBinRoot\$chocoPackageName. For example, $installDir = C:\bin\arduinoidegalileo

Extracting arduinoidegalileo.7z creates a sub-directory such as, arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4 in $installDir. These 25 characters, while useful if multiple versions of arduinoidegalileo are to be installed, are wasteful to the 260 path character limit.

So the final path would be something like C:\bin\arduinoidegalileo\arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4

C:\bin\ == set by the user -- with environment variable $Env:ChocolateyBinRoot arduinoidegalileo\ == set by the package maintainer -- and is the chocolatey package ID arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4 == set by the developer

$ cd /cygdrive/c && find arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4/ -print | awk '{ print length($0), $0 }' | sort -n | tail -1 238 arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4/hardware/tools/edison/sysroots/core2-32-poky-linux/usr/src/debug/gcc-runtime/4.8.2-r0/gcc-4.8.2/build.i586-poky-linux.i586-poky-linux/i586-poky-linux/libstdc++-v3/include/i586-poky-linux/bits/c++locale_internal.h

> Get-ChildItem .\arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4 -Recurse | where {$_.PSIsContainer } | foreach {$_.FullName.Length} | sort-object

Or to see the problem files: > Get-ChildItem .\arduino-1.5.3-Intel.1.0.4 -Recurse | where {$_.PSIsContainer } | foreach {$_.FullName} | sort-object -property length

Get-ChildItem : path, file name, or both are too long
fully qualified file name must be <260 characters
directory name must be <248 characters

directory name C:\ == 3 characters C:\x == 4 characters C:\x\y == 6 characters

fully qualified file name (FQFN) a.txt == 4 characters C:\a.txt == 3 + 4 = 7 characters

\a.txt == 5 characters C:\x\a.txt == 4 + 5 = 8 characters C:\x\y\a.txt == 6 + 5 = 11 characters

Setting reasonable directories: $Env:ChocolateyBinRoot = Join-Path $Env:SystemDrive $Env:Chocolatey_Bin_Root

PS> $Env:SystemDrive
C:
PS> $Env:SystemDrive.Length

PS> $Env:Chocolatey_Bin_Root

This software is for an old board that seems abandonned

@tunisiano187 thank you for looking into this.
