📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses issues caused by long file paths preventing programs like Lineage 2 Interlude and Virtual DJ from functioning properly, with users experiencing that moving files to shorter paths resolves the problem. The original poster finds that files and setup run correctly when placed in root directories due to path length limitations, which is confirmed by responses mentioning the 255-character filename limit. Solutions such as using tools like Long Path Tool are recommended, and the overall sentiment suggests that shortened file paths are necessary to avoid these issues.

I had a setup of Lineage 2 Interlude on this path
C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\FORMAT\Format\ExTaCy1337\Lineage II Installers\LineageII_interlude_client\


And I was running the setup and nothing was happening...
when I movied LineageII_interlude_client
to C:\...
like C:\LineageII_interlude_client\

It worked perfect... Why?
and I had some music

C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\f0rm4t11\Downloads\Summer Hits Collection\

and all the music there I couldn't move them into Virtual DJ ...
So I had to put them

on ExTaCy1337 (C:\Users\ExTaCy1337) which is not that big and then they worked...
Why's that happening? :\

Hello and welcome to the Windows 7 Forums.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your problem, could you describe it a little better? Thanks! :)

Your path does not seem to be correct.

Files with a big path like this

C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\FORMAT\Format\ExTaCy1337\Lineage II Installers\LineageII_interlude_client\setup.exe

Doesn't run....
I tried everything to get it run but nothing worked...

Files with a path like this

C:\LineageII_interlude_client\setup.exe

Run...!

Cheers to "nabucco" for the post! Some rep for you.
Unfortunately, I don't think it can be tweaked.
