Fix MSI installer errors 2502 and 2503 in Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7
Sometimes Windows Installer starts to behave unexpectedly in various versions of Windows, including Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Every error message has an error code but there is no further information given to the user about what action he should take to fix the error. I suddenly started facing one such error out of nowhere. While uninstalling any app which is shipped as an MSI package, it showed errors 2502 and 2503 and then the installation or uninstallation failed. Here is what these errors mean and how you can fix them easily.

Here is how the File Explorer icon was changed during Windows 10 development.
How to enable NTFS Long Paths in Windows 10
In Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft finally addressed a long-standing issue that developers faced while doing development - the 260 character limitation for path length.

Starting with build 14352 of Windows 10, which is part of the Anniversary Update (version 1607), this limitation can be bypassed.

With Windows 10 build 14352, Microsoft has introduced a new security feature which will be available in the final Anniversary Update.
