This is because I removed the use of ustar (that we had for osx). Uwe, would it be possible to have shorter names? Why is LyXWinInstaller/ inside installer/? Do we need this packaging/ subdirectory?

I think we can gain enough path size to be below 99.

You probably already know that LyXWinInstaller/ contains the source of Uwe's installer. I agree that LyXWinInstaller/ could (should) be moved and/or renamed. The question is what to call it and where to place it.

Here's the structure of the relevant directories:

* development/
** Win32/
*** launcher/   - separate application used by LyX when it was
                  installed via the official installer (Joost's code)
*** pdfview/    - separate application used by LyX when it was
                  installed via the official installer (Joost's code)
*** patches/    - I have no idea... Joost?
*** packaging/
**** bakoma/    - I have no idea... Joost?
**** icons/     - I have no idea... Joost?

**** installer/ - The NSIS source of the official installer (Joosts' code)
***** components/       - Part of the official installer
***** graphics/         - Part of the official installer
***** lang/             - Part of the official installer
***** dialogs/          - Part of the official installer
***** include/          - Part of the official installer

***** LyXWinInstaller/  - Uwe's installer
****** icons/                   - Part of Uwe's code base
****** informations/            - Part of Uwe's code base
****** lyx_languages/           - Part of Uwe's code base
****** specials/                - Part of Uwe's code base
******* PDFViewWin/             - Used by LyX when installed by Uwe's inst.

To begin with, I think the name 'LyXWinInstaller' could be changed. Having 'LyX' in the name is not needed in my opinion. Uwe needs to comment/approve an alternative name of course.

Assuming we call the directory e.g. 'altInstaller', we could for instance move and rename
        development/Win32/packaging/installer/LyXWinInstaller/
to
        development/Win32/packaging/altInstaller

Moving and renaming LyXWinInstaller/ will not affect the official installer (Joost's code). I don't think it will affect Uwe's code, but he should verify this.
