Running OSFPT with InputPath = Output Path causes failure

Mark Olleson — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:41:57 -0000

Running the OSF Packaging Toolkit and specifying the same path for the package and output results in infinite loop which eventually causes the path length limit to be exceed, resulting in a error being reported:

D:\Users\muppet\PackageTest>OSFPackagingTool.exe -cp -p D:\Users\muppet\PackageT
est\ExamplePackage ExamplePackage -out D:\Users\muppet\PackageTest\ExamplePackag
e
Processing...
The package ExamplePackage is invalid. The specified path, file name, or both ar
e too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and
the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
