Hi,

During the installation of Radiance 5.2.0 I get this error that the file path is too long.
Even trying installing it in C:\Radiance
What should I do?

The PATH environment variable includes the paths of all programs that you use from the command line. The length of PATH is limited to 2048 characters. Although you can save a longer path than this, some things may not work if the length exceeds 2048.

To shorten your PATH, go to Start -> Edit the system environment variables -> Environment variables... and then click on Path in the system variables list and click Edit. Remove references to programs that you do not use. You can do the same from the Path in the user variables list, and remove any duplicates between the two lists. Finally, make sure that your Radiance bin folder is listed in the PATH.
