Description

pac unpack command failed when trying to unpack unmanaged and managed solution files with the path length of 214. It did succeed with the path length of 203 so i believe whenever the path length is between 203 to 214 or within 214 pac command fails to unpack the code.

i ran the same unpack command against my 'c:\temp' folder and it ran successfully.

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Research direction

Start at the pac unpack command entry point and reproduce the failure using a path around 214 characters, then compare it with the successful c:\temp run and the 203-character case. Done means unmanaged and managed solution files unpack successfully at the reported path lengths.
