Unable to extract .net 4.5

Post by Bjarne »

Hi, I've just ran into a major problem, the installer fails to extract ms .net 4.5(!) It just fails and retries the download (am using web media blocks which downloads the required packages)
I believe the problem is "path too long"-related as the paths to some files in the package are quite long, i.e

Code: Select all

microsoft .net framework 4.5 (x64)\mFileBagIDE.dll\bag\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Design\v4.0_4.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Design.dll
This path alone is 221 chrs long and if taking the temporary folder path into consideration the complete path will most probably exceed 260 chrs (Win32:MAX_PATH).

FYI,
I've installed the 4.5 framework using the downloadable from MS and it extracts everything to a root folder instead of using %temp%.
Maybe this is away of avoiding the problem...
