Documentation: Remove section for Windows developers re: path length
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On Windows your path must be less than 56 characters long, not 16 (see update to #1519). Not short enough to warrant extra note.

Windows development
-------------------------
Due to the length of some `filename paths conflicting with the Windows
environment <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx>`_,
Windows-based developers are advised to use an initial `folder path
of no more than 16 characters <https://github.com/ginatrapani/ThinkUp/issues/1519>`_.
For example, the below ThinkUp install directory is 26 characters:

::

C:\GitHubProjects\ThinkUp\

Where possible, the path to install ThinkUp should be under 16 characters, as in the following example:

::

C:\ThinkUp\
