specified path is too long

I am trying to install 1.3.38 on my computer which has VS 2013 Pro and VS2015 Pro.

When I do the installation I get "The specified path is too long: \hd-file-01\users\sramirez\My Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjedTemplates\Visual Basic"

I don't have 2017 installed.

I can't change the path.

I tried logging in as a local user and isntalling WiseJ.  It allowed the install to complete.  However, I now have no template for WiseJ projects (New Project\Visual Basic).

What do I need to do?

Thanks

Yep, the installer was adding the VS directories for all versions for a single file - it's not related to this issue though. The directory is created and it's just there, doesn't do anything. The path is too long problem may be connected to a network drive or subst drive?

You can add the templates manually to:

\users\sramirez\My Documents\Visual Studio 2013 (and/or 2015)\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic

\users\sramirez\My Documents\Visual Studio 2013 (and/or 2015)\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual Basic

This is a link to the templates:

Can you clarify something for me on this?

I see the path ...\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic

The Templates.zip file has a folder "Visual Basic".  Do the "Items" and "Projects" folders go directly into the ...\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic folder

One more thing, after the installer gets the error, it appears to do a roll back.  Is this the case?  Do I just install WiseJ as a local user to get around the error?

Nope, you have to copy like this:

\Templates.zip\Visual Basic\Items => \My Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual Basic\Wisej

\Templates.zip\Visual Basic\Projects => \My Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic\Wisej

The installer always rolls back on an error. We use Advanced Installer from Caphyon. Wisej should be able to install as a local user as well as admin. I don’t know what is causing the error with the path.
