Repair WMI

[rws1951]

My problem occurs when running repair wmi w/ Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One). It has to do with the following example:
The directory name C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Applica
tion Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Ap
plication Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Da
ta\Diagnostics\1158610846\2015021114.000 is too long.
The Application folders run too deep for Repair WMI do a complete repair. I'm sure it's not a Windows Repair (All in One) problem
but with the Application data folders. I'll include a partial log file that may help you find an answer. Thanks in advance
for any help you can provide.

That isnt the program running into that but cmd.exe, since it is running the command and searching the files.

The problem is you have a folder that has a junction (symbolic) link on it that is pointing back to a parent folder. So it is creating a infinite loop, and since cmd.exe will only support paths up to 256 chars, it gets stuck in that loop till it hits that limit then it moves on.

You can use this tool to find out which folder is causing the loop
