# Shorten path to < 128 characters and it works as expected.
Resolve-Path -LiteralPath 'C:\really\long\path\that\does\not\exist\but\is\exactly\128\characters\long\and\breaks\the\world\which\is\not\great.oops.2bad.exe'- Open a PowerShell 7 RC3 prompt
- Run this command
c:\temp\repro.ps1
Expected behavior
