It looks like .NET recently discarded the MAX_PATH constraint. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/08/02/announcing-net-framework-4-6-2/#bcl |
Yes. Now we just need Windows to fix the MSI APIs MAX_PATH limitations. |
Good to know, thanks for the update Rob. |
We did everything we could to enable long path support in .NET and Windows in WiX v4.0 for #5314. |
