Jenkins, we have shortened several times now, also customize the wixproj file so intermediate files are going to "obj" instead of "obj\Release", and so on. But it doesnt help that Wix creates those very long-named intermediate files, 65 characters for one file, and we have already shortened the projectname so far we can go.
Is it possible to disable incremental linking/building on the buildserver?, I guess it's there for speeding up when you compile several times?
