Max Length should be detected instead of hardcoding the 2047
I would like to suggest/request you consider a product enhancement (or fix depending how you look at it).
I absolutely love that RapidEE checks the path length for > 2047. HOWEVER......you may or may not be aware that MS has long since offered a (still optional which blows me away) hotfix for just about every OS to at least double this to 4096.
Here is the link to the Win7 & 2008r2 version:
And as that chart shows:
Windows Major Maximum Level Minor PATH
Windows 2003 5.2 1023
- with Service Pack 2 or above 2047
- with KB906469 2047 Windows 2003+ 5.3+ 2047
Windows Server 2008 6.0 2047
- with Service Pack 2 or above 4095
- with KB2685893 4095 Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 6.1 2047
- with Service Pack 2 or above 4095
- with KB2685893 4095 Windows Server 2012/Windows 8 6.2 4095 Windows Server 2012 R2/Windows 8.1 6.3 4095 Windows Server 2012+/Windows 8.1+ 6.4+ 4095
Windows Server 2016/Windows 10 10.0 4095 Windows Server 2016+/Windows 10+ 10.1+ 4095
So, it would be really cool if RapidEE could simply check the presence of the KB install key in the registry, or the internal file version of perhaps the shell dll updated and automatically then only turn red and warn me if my patched OS now exceeds the new limit of 4096!
