| When installing the module on Windows you may run into an issue regarding long file names (LFN), this is due to the generated schema files. If you are running in a master environment and installing the module on your master this will not be an issue, however if you are running masterless then you may run into this during installation depending on the length of the username it is ran from. One way to get around this is to download the `.tar.gz` and install using the file rather than directly from the forge. For more info see [PUP-4866](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4866) | |||

After closer inspection, this isn't quite right. We've provided a fix in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4854 that will switch to using TEMP directory in Puppet 3.8.2 and 4.2.2. That means then you may run into this issue based on username and how they access temp, but before it was to C:\ProgramData\ etc etc. - it may help to review puppetlabs/puppet#4090

So would it be safer to say, if using < 3.8.2 in or > 4 and less than 4.2.2 you may get this issue otherwise it has been fixed?

It hasn't been fixed though. We still don't support LFN, we've just attempted to ease the likelihood of if happening in PUP-4854.
I think this should actually go into known issues.
