still getting this on Windows 10; The filename or extension is too long.
Hi @damain. Which download link did you use? There are three different packages of Arduino IDE 2.x for Windows:
- "Windows Win 10 and newer, 64 bits"
- "Windows MSI installer"
- "Windows ZIP file"
This one; Windows Win 10 and newer, 64 bits
arduino-ide_2.0.0_Windows_64bit.exe
That is unfortunate. This is a known problem caused by the many levels of folders generated by the JavaScript package dependencies bundled with the IDE installation, but the developer indicated it is less likely to occur with the exe version so I usually recommend that.
When you install the IDE, the installer dialog lets you choose the destination folder of the installation. Select a folder that provides as short as possible as a base path.
For example, this destination folder is good:
C:\Arduino IDE
This one is bad:
C:\Users\I have a super duper really really extremely long user name\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE
Yep, problem solved; D:\Program Files\Arduino IDE2 (this works)
Thank you!
You are welcome. I'm glad you were able to successfully install the IDE. Enjoy!
