@jdeppe-pivotal Hi! Could you elaborate on where this causes issue for you or your team? Thank you!

from bosh-windows-stemcell-builder.

Sure. We're using the stemcell to create Concourse workers. These workers then run a Java build which can end up using path names like C:\var\vcap\data\houdini-windows\containers\00002b19ael\tmp\build\7e99fb29\built-geode\tmp\junit1354733500719676959\temp\BackupIntegrationTest_809107526backup_Dir\2018-07-26-22-33-50\8e0fb3ef-57b4-4cf9-b34a-760128054051.windows-worker-integration-tests.private.concourse.bosh-4572-loner--0-5e0ebad8\diskstores\diskStore_4d31c6b3a2574728-9bf53d3138d0acac\dir0 (359 chars). In some cases, .bat files are launched against these paths which then fail to run.
