Activating "python disable path length limit" option after closing the installation wizard

Question

I forgot to choose this option "python disable path length limit" during the installation and close the installation window. How can I activate this option now?

Answer 1

Apparently this option in the Python installer changes a Windows 10 setting to allow longer file paths.

• Run Regedit
• navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem (you can past this into the address bar in Regedit)
• set LongPathsEnabled to 1
