cannot support long path over 260 characters #29

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When a file's full path name is over 260 characters, NSIS will show "File: 
failed opening file..."

OS：Win7x64
NSIS：2.46.5 Unicode

PS：I use NSIS make up a eclipse RCP product, many files have a long file name 
such like 
"...\features\org.eclipse.mylyn_feature_3.6.5.v20120215-0100\META-INF\maven\org.
eclipse.mylyn.tasks\org.eclipse.mylyn_feature\pom.properties"

Is this problem happening while building your installer or when the installer 
is running?

For Unicode NSIS, did you try using "\\?\" prefix for all your paths? (This 
prefix does not work for ANSI NSIS.)

Thinks, that's OK.

Could you please put an example? I'm trying with 
File /r \\?\*.*

But I'm getting the error:
File: "\\?\*.*" -> no files found.

For such issues, you can use Long Path Tool, it works good.
