I confirm that the file path length > 260 (for one of the intermediate files) caused the RemoveDirectory step to fail.

Modifying the master.cfg to move CMake's build directory to a higher level solved the problem.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.

Thank you for that comment, Vasily.

It turns out that indeed there is a (deeply nested) file with a full path of 265 characters.

I'll modify the build to reduce the nesting depth and report back whether this resolves the problem.

Regards.
Greg

Hi all,

One of potential problems with RemoveDirectory on Windows is that it uses ANSI version of Win32 API which cannot deal with too long names (more than MAXPATH, which, I believe, is about 260 characters), so you might want to check if the directory you're trying to remove has short enough name.

Thanks,
Vasily
