Description ============ To activate support for long path names I added a utility function which can be used to prepend a given path with a specific opt in prefix `\\?\` From the windows [docs][0]: > For file I/O, the "\\?\" prefix to a path string tells the Windows APIs > to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it > straight to the file system. For example, if the file system supports > large paths and file names, you can exceed the MAX_PATH limits that > are otherwise enforced by the Windows APIs. For more information > about the normal maximum path limitation, see the previous section > Maximum Path Length Limitation. More info can be found [here][0] The windows installer functions call this new utility function and prefix all destination urls.
