Hi WinBuilder Developers

If the target name lenght is more than 259 characters, the WinBuilder will not able to access a file/directory with such a long name ?

//Retrieve,FILEVERSION,"%Source_Win%\explorer.exe",%VarResult%

//Message,"%VarResult% = Windows 8 Consumer Preview",INFORMATION

//Message,%Source_Win%,INFORMATION

//Retrieve,FOLDERSIZE,"%Source_Win%\Microsoft.NET","%sizeFolder%"



Retrieve,FOLDERSIZE,"c:\test","%sizeFolder%"

StrFormat,BYTES,"%sizeFolder%"

Please extract the test.7z archive file to the root directory of the system drive and test this code with the WinBulder 083. I am having this problem with the Windows 8 dvd's source. Kind regards

IMO that is not an issue of WinBuilder, it is an issue of win32.
See here.

The actual WinBuilder is based on win32 and has the MAX_PATH limit of 260 characters.

Not true. In win32 you can use longer than 260 if you use a special prefix to the file name ( ? ) and you use the unicode versions of the win32 api functions.

See:

http://msdn.microsof...7(v=vs.85).aspx

for more details

However given the lack of unicode support in your very old pascal compiler could be difficult to use these functions.

Hi guys

We can overcome this problem with AutoIt. I developed a temporary solution for this. Best regards
