    Over the past few months, we've had a long-standing issue related to Puppet on Windows resurface (puppetlabs/Puppet.Dsc#144). More specifically, Puppet modules with long file paths could not be installed on Windows due to a limitation in the Windows operating system. In short, if a file path surpasses 260 characters, it's open season: the path has to be referred to in a different format, first-party apps like Notepad or File Explorer start to behave erratically, and there's no guarantee what works and what doesn't anymore.
