I was building Kodi on Win x64 VS 2017 using the BuildSetup.bat.  Everything ran OK except it errored out when attempting to build the NSIS installer -- error is
 

Code:

File: failed opening file "C:\Users\scottZ397\Documents\GitHub\build-xbmc\project\Win32BuildSetup\BUILD_WIN32\addons\visualization.projectm\resources\projectM\presets\presets_eyetune\Martin N AdamFX Infusion = Phat+Yin+EoS_Mandala Chaser Ft AdamFX n Martin - The Beast Mandala Chaser FX H.milk"
!include: error in script: "visualization-addons.nsi" on line 35
Error in script "genNsisInstaller.nsi" on line 246 -- aborting creation process

Also tried BuildSetup.bat nobinaryaddons clean  same results.

I can find that file and open it in notepad.  So I deleted the visualization.projectM folder from project\Win32BuildSetup\BUILD_WIN32\addons and reran BuildSetup.bat nobinaryaddons clean and it completed. (aside -- but it seems all the binaries are in the installer even with that switch.)

The resulting installer works fine, but wondering what went wrong?

Probably path length limits. Windows is hit and miss with support for long paths

Thanks, I was wondering a little about path length, but haven't experienced that in a long time.
