Can you help please?

All file und dir funktions and also basename() do not work in R under Windows OS
if the path is longer than 260 characters.
The problem seems to be, that the manifest for all R executables do not have 
the longPathAware switch in the manifest.
(The registry and or the group policy for the long path name support are 
enabled)

This is the correct extension for the manifest of the executables.
<ws2:longPathAware>true</ws2:longPathAware>

Is it possible to add this into all manifests for windows executables?
Or is ther an other opportunity?

Snippet from Microsoft:

<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings 
xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings";>
<ws2:longPathAware>true</ws2:longPathAware>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
