Google 260 characters limit

Alright. I've gone into my registry and changed "LongPathsEnabled" value to 1 (to unlock the limit).

I still cannot open ACE with the same error. Could the problem be that there is a lock on my community folder (although I can still access it, and I'm the administrator)?

Won't make a difference. Even a default MS File Explorer won't work with oversized paths: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cr1uoZV1Aey

You've got 2 options:
a. Shorten a path down to 259 characters or less.
b. Deactivate the software (Start>Captain Sim>777 ACE MSFS2020>DEACTIVATE) and request a refund providing:
- 260RF reference code
- Order number
- Your forum nickname

The shorter the better.

Can I just go into my file explorer and do it, or is there anything specific I need to do?

Where do I request a refund? I'm worried that changing it will stuff up everything.

I don't know if I can just change the underlined thing randomly or what.

I don't want to request a refund, I really want this to work. But I don't want to break my system.

Are you sure you don’t have a firewall or antivirus that could be blocking anything?

Where that oversized and nonsense folder name came from?

2.How many characters is your FULL path to ....\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\P
ackages\Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-a320-neo\SimObjects\AirPlanes\Asobo_A32
0_NEO\TEXTURE.AIRTRAFFIC02\A320NEO_AIRFRAME_WINGS_ALBD.PNG.DDS      file?

I have a folder named E:\WpSystem that has the same naming convention (S-1-5-21-407189478-2283906966-1042017628-1001) shown by Jxck.
That folder appeared after I installed MSFS onto the E: drive (E:\Flight Sims\Microsoft Flight Simulator). Although the E:\WpSystem folder is there, the 772 is installed in E:\Flight Sims\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Community\captainsim-aircraft-m772, and 773 is installed into E:\Flight Sims\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Community\captainsim-aircraft-m773, and all the necessary files are in their correct folders.
I can't understand why it would install in the wrong location.

Where is MSFS installed on your D: drive Jxck? Surely not in the D:\WpSystem folder, but if it is, I suggest you install it in E:\Microsoft Flight Simulator. To do that, you will need to uninstall MSFS, then create the Microsoft Flight Simulator folder on your E: drive, then install MSFS into that folder. I know uninstalling/reinstalling MSFS is a big task (I did this upon buying my second 2TB SSD (E: drive) back in May), but if that is the solution to your problem, it will be worth it in the end.

Hey Mark!

I have two drives, C: (SSD for Windows) and D: (HDD, MSFS was put on here).

The MSFS path is D:\MSFS\Official\OneStore, then I have all of the Asobo aircrafts. The community folder however isn't there. It's under this:

D:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-3320471684-1917308660-1714662175\AppData\Local\Packages\Mic
rosoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
