Kotlin native path too long on Windows

Support
1

I can’t extract the Kotlin native .zip file anywhere on Windows (not even partition roots). I have MAX_PATH limitations disabled under: settings → system → advanced - file explorer → enable long paths. Have tried restarting already as well.

  1. Look for a file with kotlin-native in the name and download one that is suitable for your operating system, for example kotlin-native-prebuilt-linux-x86_64-2.3.0.tar.gz.
  2. Unpack the archive to a directory of your choice.

What happens when you try? Is there an error message?

I got it working by removing going into the zip and then into the kotlin-native-prebuilt-windows-x86_64-2.3.0 folder, and then moving all files to a folder kotlin-native. And apparently that was short enough. It was the typical path too long to extract from zip error. Not sure if that is a limitation of the builtin zip utility? Would it have worked with 7-zip maybe?
