Windows: Tolerate GetShortPathNameW failure (!8432) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Oldřich Jedlička requested to merge oldium/cmake:fix-short-path into master Apr 26, 2023

The GetShortPath function is used by NMake Makefile generator, so when shortening path fails, it returns empty string. The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is currently returned for paths within C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, which is a special folder with limited access rights. It looks like this is by design.

Fixes: #24853 (closed)
