Getting around the file path length limit

$

I'm trying to thinapp SAS (yes, I know, it's not really my idea), and the postscan works fine, but writing it out to either a network share (Win 2008 R2) or the local disk (Win 7) isn't working because of the file path length limit.

 

What is weird is that sometimes it stops and it's using the //?/ modifier that should allow it the extra space to write to that location. Sometimes it isn't using that prefix.

 

I've looked through a lot of Windows documentation, but there doesn't seem to be a simple way of setting that network share to allow the longer paths.

 

I also wondered if there's a way to use a Linux server running Samba as a thinapp repository. I attempted to create a share this way, but View wouldn't add it as a repository. I'm assuming that's due to an authentication issue. There doesn't seem to be any way to configure a login to the share.

 

This is all using Thinapp 4.7 with View 5.
