hey I have successfully compiled on windows with my path being `C osquery` this is sadly bit of a known issue

there is also a registry key on windows which enables long path names ```Windows 10 The initial directory is assumed to be C Note Windows and msbuild have traditionally had a 260 character max path limit If you encounter problems with the long paths generated by CMake we recommend building in a shorter path like C Projects osquery If that still isn t working since Windows 10 since Version 1607 there is a registry key that can enable longer paths From an elevated command prompt REG ADD HKLM SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control FileSystem v LongPathsEnabled t REG DWORD d 1 f After changing that key reboot your build machine and re attempt the build ``` <https osquery readthedocs io en latest development building windows 10>

I build from `C Projects osquery` without problems but YMMV
