Thanks for the link!
However it seems NSIS even in its latest incarnation (2.42) still does 
not use this improved API.
I cannot see a way to use the "\\?\[...]" trick either (tried running 
`makensis "\\?\C:\Dokumente und 
Einstellungen\sepp\Desktop\yanel-trunk\build\bin-snapshots\wyona-yanel-SNAPSHOT-1.0-dev-r40937-bin-win\install-yanel.nsi" 

` but it chokes during initialization)

So I guess we have to do with this limitation for the moment! :(
