Thanks for pointing me to that. I looked at the review comments on changing the error message. With all due respect to the people commenting, most of them are wrong or incomplete. I understand why, most of Microsoft's documentation on this point is wrong or incomplete.
Let me put this here for the moment rather than commenting on the bug. If people here think it's appropriate, I'll add to the review comments. The issue of 8.3 file name is too complex to explain in an error message. I think the error message should be something like: The file path D:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 ... is missing a required short file name on one or more of its components. Please see https://developer.mozilla.com/.... /How to fix missing short file names for more details and instructions. I will write the article if requested. >From tracking what Microsoft has been saying about short file names, this >feature should be considered deprecated. It won't be gone this month or this >year, but just like 16 bit comparability, it is on its way out. In the meantime, I've fixed my machine by adding short names to the path where the Windows Kits are installed. I was thinking that this dependency should at least be documented. But having run into problems with Rust and LLVM, I'm realizing that undocumented dependencies is Mozilla SOP. ++PLS _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list dev-builds@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
