We would previously conditionally call
GetFullPathNameW
and do string manipulations for normalising the path. Instead, always callGetFullPathNameW
to normalise the path as per Windows' rules. This more importantly will collapse runs of the arc separator, which is crucial when using extended paths as the NT path form must always use the normalised paths or the access will fail.
