Error Message when the Installer has a Long Full Name

[Ahmed Hesham]

I get this error:

when I start the installer in a long path (installer name included).

After some testing, I noticed that the limit is 110 characters.

Are you using any [Code] in your installer, specifically, calling any external DLL functions? Inno Setup is written in Delphi, so it doesn't use ucrtbase.dll anywhere.

Only this:

[code]
function DotNet4NotInstalled: Boolean;
begin
  Result := not IsDotNetInstalled(net4Full,0);
end;

Hello,
I created example script based on the [code] you shared (attached).
And I used long path, for example:
c:\OutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutputOutput
over 110 characters.
The script compiled correctly, and executed correctly, so I don't see any problem with that part.

Please create and share minimum working example that causes the error, so we can compile and check it.

Also, please provide information what a version of InnoSetup you used to compile the script.

Long explanation does not apply to the InnoSetup, so, please include only essential files in the script without direct paths, for example:

bad:
x:\MyPath\my.file

good:
.\MyPath\my.file
OR
good:
MyPath\my.file

And all files needed to compile the script have to be in the same location as the main script.

Probably you will not include your minimum working example with files here, so, please compress them into one archive and upload it on any file sharing hosting and paste the link to the share in the message.

Greetings,
Wilenty

In that case, it's probably something on your computer injecting a library into the process, which is then causing the failure. I have tested one of my installers in a deep path, and as long as the full path + installer executable name did not exceed 260 characters, the Setup worked without problems.
