New ContributorPlease, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows
Are you referring to the maximum file path length? If so, this is a Windows limitation.
Windows limits the combined length of a file name and its path to 260 characters. If your project path exceeds this limit, Quartus may be unable to access the required IP or design files.
Additionally, the Quartus Prime Pro 26.1 installer includes an option to enable Windows Long Path Support by default. Older installers may not provide this option.
Alternatively, you can refer to the KDB below for instructions on enabling long path support in Windows.If the issue persists after enabling long path support, could you share more details, such as the exact compilation error message or logs?

New ContributorThank You. I guess my point was, knowing it is a limit of windows, why create automated generated file names like this...
..\baseline-a55\ip\hps_subsys\emif_io96b_hps\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi\synth\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi.v
I couldn't get the Golden reference to build unless I had it right at the c drive. I guess that was really what I was getting at. But looks like there is a check box at start up I missed at installation
