Check the contents of that directory. There may be things in there that
have a very long path name. Windows APIs have a fairly short path-length

drive (or use 'subst', sometimes that helps).

I do agree that it'd be nice to include additional information in the
error message, but this error message is generated by a dependency
library, not by us.
