Executable is not long path aware

ID PE135 Level INFO Category System

Description

The executable does not specify long path awareness in the manifest. Newer applications should be marked as long path aware.

Mitigation

If using Visual C++:

  • Create a separate Application manifest file if you have not done this for your application yet. This file will be used as an additional source to the default manifest generated by the Manifest tool.
  • Add the external manifest file as an additional input file to the Manifest tool (also see the screenshot below).
  • Add the longPathAware element to your Application manifest file.
Adding extra manifest

If using Visual Studio with .NET Console, WinForms, WPF projects:

  • Add the Application manifest file to your project. See the screenshot below.
  • Add the longPathAware element to your Application manifest file.
Adding manifest to C#
