 * Users getting file errors on install, not sure how to fix. Any suggestions? Here’s
   wha they are reporting:
 * Installing Plugin: Seamless Donations 4.0 Downloading install package from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/seamless-donations.zip…](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/seamless-donations.zip…)
 * Unpacking the package…
 * Could not copy file. seamless-donations/library/seamless-donations-admin-page-
   framework/factory/AdminPageFramework_Factory/utility/AdminPageFramework_WPUtility/

 * Hi,
 * Are the users having the problem using a Linux based server? Or does it occur
   only on Windows servers?

 * I think it might only be Windows servers. I haven’t heard complaint (about this,
   anyway) from Linux or generic hosted server users.

 * I see.
 * It could be due to the character length limitation of Windows. ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8426420/php-include-long-path-issue](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8426420/php-include-long-path-issue))
 * You may rename your library directory, `seamless-donations-admin-page-framework`
   to something short like `apf` to shorten the framework file paths.

 * If I do that, beyond the include, will I need to make any other major code changes?
   Or is it just rename the directory and rename the path in the include and that
   should be it? I’d prefer not to introduce more breakage (it has not been a good
   week for updates). Sigh.
