recent Setup.exe releases are not able to handle files with a full pathnames
length about 100 characters. The reason is, that for tar file name length over
100 characters the GNU long name extension is used, but unfortunally the
setup.exe'S implementation contains a bug in this case.
This should happen for all windows variants.
