[WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

[NuncObdurat]

Hello, thanks for creating this tool! I'm having an issue with long file paths when trying to build a Visual Studio solution for tensor flow. The error is below.

DEBUG: C:/tmp/vkiilvyk/external/org_tensorflow/third_party/repo.bzl:109:14:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

What I have tried/verified:

• Removed Win10 long path restrictions using [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
  "LongPathsEnabled"=dword:00000001
• added the following to my bazel.rc file:
  startup --output_user_root=C:/tmp
  startup --windows_enable_symlinks
  build --enable_runfiles
• Enabled 8.3 filename support via "fsutil 8dot3name set 0"
• Ensured that BAZEL_SH is set systemwide

I'm not sure what else it could be, other than maybe that the maximum path length limitation is still being applied within Python or some other tool. Any ideas or support would be greatly appreciated!
