    Re: Issues with long path names

    Hi Tom,

    hmmm, the fix is part of this current build:

    FIX : Installer: Work around a possible LFN buffer overrun issue when installing files where the file/folder name is > 256 bytes.

    So you are still getting the same buffer overrun in your install? I can't reproduce it here :-( Would it be possible to send me a small test project?

    Sorry for that :-(

    Hi!

    The just released 5710 update didn't seem to fix this - I just want to be sure this is still outstanding?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    We had to release with the existing code.

    If the next official SB build is coming reasonably soon, we can wait.

    Thanks,
    Tom H.

    P.S. I hope you had a great vacation!

    Tom,

    Sorry for the delay. Just returned from vacation. Office was closed from July 15, 2017 - July 31, 2017. Do you still need the "special" build with this fix?

    Re: Issues with long path names

    Hi Tom,

    we're in the midst of finalizing a brand new SB update with quite a few runtime and compiler changes. So I think it would be a good idea to just "backport" the buffer-overrun fix (only one source code modification) to the original build 5452 to be on the safe side. Would this be okay for you?

    If it doesn't mess you up, that would be great.

    Please let me know if there is anything else to watch for since this wouldn't be an official release...

    Thanks,

    Hi Tom,

    I can send you a private build that fixes this buffer-overrun.

    Re: Issues with long path names

    Hi Friedrich,

    Any news on this? We're getting ready to do a release, so I'm being asked whether we'll have an updated SB to build the installs.

    Thanks!

    Update 2: 252 bytes gives this (but still no buffer-overrun). The target path can't be created, because it's too long. Adding more bytes and beginning with 268 bytes, we see a buffer-overrun (this has to be fixed).

    Update 3: I have fixed the buffer-overrun bug in our recursive "Create Folder" function.
