GSX Pro Live Update Error! (Solved)
« on: May 03, 2023, 11:18:07 pm »
While I trying update for last version 2.5.8 GSX Pro.. I always saw same error while %11
Edit: This problem solved. I added manually folders to "fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-580 and FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-1740". Then I run live updater. It downloaded all of new png, dds and flags files. This topic can be delete.

You cut your screenshot, so I can't see your Community folder. In any case, your problem seems to indicate that, for some reason, your Windows install is not supporting pathnames longer than 260 characters.

This used to be a problem in early MSFS releases, but at a certain point, the MSFS installer has been updated to automatically add support for the longer file paths, since even the MSFS own installer failed because of this.

It's strange why you don't have the setting enabled, it can be enabled as explained here:
