+ Since Windows 10 version 1607, Windows has been 'long file paths' capable
101
+ but that capability is not enabled by default. Consequently, Stack does not
102
+ assume that it is being used on a system that is 'long file paths' enabled.

104
+ Stack uses the 7-Zip tool to decompress, and extract tools from, downloaded
105
+ archive files. Aiming to avoid long file paths, Stack does so in a temporary
106
+ directory (named `stack-tmp-<hash>`) in the root of the drive of the final
107
+ destination. Consequently, Stack needs permission to create a directory in
108
+ that location. A Windows user account of type Administrator will have
109
+ permission to create a directory in the root of the system drive (`C:\`, by
110
+ convention) but a Standard user account may well not have permission.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
