Re: [Nant-users] Path Too Long Exception

Hi Michael, Flanakin Michael C Ctr HQ OSSG/OMR wrote: I saw some discussion in regards to the "path is too long" exception, but never saw a resolution. Does anyone know about this or how to get around it?   Michael Flanakin   I get those exceptions a lot when scripting InstallShield project builds.  The solution that I have found is to use the oldschool DOS "subst" command, to create a new drive pointing to my folder, thus shortening my paths. Here is what I do: <target name="substituteDrive">     <exec program="cmd.exe" commandline="/c subst /D R:" failonerror="false"/>     <exec program="cmd.exe" commandline="/c subst R: &quot;${absolute.build.dir}&quot;" failonerror="false"/> </target> <target name="unsubstituteDrive">     <exec program="cmd.exe" commandline="/c subst /D R:" failonerror="false"/> </target> I hope that helps.
