LFN Support for the VV log file...

might seem like an odd question, but I was receiving an error when a Profile ran stating 'Failed creating log file...task aborted'.

It turned out the Log File path and Profile Name when combined exceeded 260 chars.

Hi! I believe each component of the path is limited to 256 chars, i.e.

<year>-<month>-<day> - <hour>.<min> [hrs-min] -- <profile>.log

needs to be < 256 chars (regardless of \\?\ prefix).

Could that be the issue?

ok thank you.

Is there some way VV6 could write a log file to a path+filename combo > 260 chars though ?

Hi, I tested this and it looks like the \\?\ prefix is not supported for the log file so max is 260 char in total for the path. I have added this to fix.
