Hello,
I run into a serius issue today while extracting some data from a zip archive.
The archive was made 2 years ago back on XP, but while trying to extract the contents on vista today I got an error about the file lenghts.
I found out that vista includes the "full path" when counting towards the limit (260 characters I think).
Is there a tool or any "fixer" for this problem?
Thanks for your help.
PS: Trying to go into the archive and change the name to something shorter is impossible on vista since it has to use some sort of temp space via the OS. Possible if done on XP, but it will involve much work!
