Basically if the absolute path length to readme.txt
(Z:\path\to\wineprefix\then\path\to\readme.txt) is 260 (MAX_PATH) characters or
more, dotnet20 fails somewhere and causes this problem.

Exactly the same happens on Windows: a long base path giving an absolute path
length of 256 characters works, but an absolute path length of 267 characters
gives the same error.

'Z:\home\sam\src\wix-test\depth\A\AOL\Aachen\Aaliyah\Aaron\Abbas\Abbasid\Abbott\Abby\Abdul\Abe\Abel\Abelard\Abelson\Aberdeen\Abernathy\Abidjan\Abigail\Abilene\Abner\Abraham\Abram\Abrams\Absalom\Abuja\Abyssinia\readme.txt'
is only 219 characters long, so assuming that was the real path used (and not
something the OP  trimmed it to), maybe there was another path length problem
when this bug was reported, that has been fixed since. If so this should be
RESOLVED FIXED. If not, it should be RESOLVED INVALID.

Given confirmation by 2 other users in 2014 and 2015, I'll assume that paths <
260 characters long (eg. 219 in the OP's case) were a problem back then, and no
longer are. So resolving FIXED. Thank you for your bug report :).
