Hello,
I am trying to run a training on DIVE Desktop and I think that it is crashing before finishing correctly. I am getting some error messages in the run log but I don’t really know how to interpret them or if they are just warnings. The training does produce a detector.pipe but resulting model does not perform well even on the same data that it was trained on, and I cannot open the training folders on DIVE Desktop afterwards without the program crashing.
Here is the [runlog.txt](https://unbcloud-my.sharepoint.com/:t:/g/personal/n74sp_unb_ca/IQAoerMPoi_WQIzs3_4XxJT7AcFsPJ-7xY5KiXNmZctcBjs?e=bwr6At) from the training (let me know if this is accessible).
I’m just wondering what is going on and if there is any way to stop these errors from happening. I am running VIAME v0.22.4 and DIVE Desktop Release 1.9.10. The computer is a Dell Precision 3580 running Windows 11.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed reply, I don’t check this list as often as the email help list.
This is a Windows MAX\_PATH (260-character) failure, due to trying to make a path that’s too big causing training to fail. Potential workaround:
1. Move the training project to a shorter path (e.g. C:\data\proj) — the simplest fix
2. Or enable Windows long paths: set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled = 1 (Python3.10 respects this automatically).
