Hello @dmitrijs-rjazanovs - we need to see full output log please (minus any sensitive data). It will help us see what is running and what the script looks like so we can provide support.

[ryazanov-dmitry]

@ferventcoder Hi Rob. Updated output log. It is all i can get. Thanks.

[ferventcoder]

Okay, the problem appears to be that there are some files inside the package that have a path much longer than the .NET framework (and by extension Chocolatey) can deal with. So we'll need to find a way around that.

[ferventcoder]

Slightly OT- I did notice this issue for install:

PackageParameters='/Environment:Cleanup /InstallRoot:D:\Solution"'| Note the extra double quote here.

choco install -y Company.Web.SitefinityCMS -source C:\Nuget -force -pre -params "/Environment:Cleanup /InstallRoot:D:\Solution\"

Should be passed as:
choco install -y Company.Web.SitefinityCMS -source C:\Nuget -force -pre -params "'/Environment:Cleanup /InstallRoot:D:\Solution\'" - see https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-reference#how-to-pass-options-switches (quote values)

[ferventcoder]

This is fixed for 0.10.1

[queensengineer]

Leaving this here for people to find:

Chocolatey NuGet.Core first unzips the package to a temp folder as follows:
C:Usersxxxxx.xxxxxxxAppDataLocalTemp2chocolateyNuGetScratch49722c8a-b74e-4980-a050-39817cee99655vptb40r.ne1 .....your package path here...
That is a 120 path characters that you can't use in side the package.
Path lengths in the package are limited to 140 unless you change the cacheLocation like so
"choco config set cachelocation c:temp"
for example.

[nmulvihill]

This has been closed and labelled as fixed. However I still get errors with applications with paths longer than 260 characters.

[ferventcoder]

@nmulvihill Chocolatey supports longer paths, but that doesn't mean that Windows or other things do. If you have a log, can you show the relevant parts of the error message (along with other messages surrounding it)? There may be an issue where it sees an error, but handles it without issue by flipping over to long paths.

[ferventcoder]

@nmulvihill That is likely in the NuGet.Core codebase. We'll need to get in there and fix it to support this as well. Would it be too much trouble to have you open a new issue with that log?

[nmulvihill]

Not at all!
Here is the issue: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/1361

[rockobonaparte]

I was curious where this stands because we are internally about to get into a situation where this might matter. We have some custom packages with grotesque filenames to contain very specific information about the nature of the files inside. The current sample of filenames won't currently exceed 260 characters, but the combination of the filename with their path probably would.
