Summary0015932: Path too long installing from installer
DescriptionSeems like a duplicate of issue 0010257.
Steps To ReproduceInstalled, received passive dialog [OK] option. I don't know what I must have done differently than anyone else. I simply installed and received the error.
Additional InformationMy user path is only 220 characters. My All Users path is substantially longer, but it is still a valid path; 1875 characters. So why can this issue not be fixed?

The problem is that it is a bug in NSIS that is well known but has never been fixed. Our solution is to stop using NSIS for CMake 3.5 and above. See 0014716:0040146.
