So it'll take a bit more rearranging to get everything to fit - I've attached one proposal that shuffles the thanks to Mark Hammond down below the "enable long path names" button. (It's grey text in the screenshot, but I've switched it to black already.)

Alternatively, we could drop that note completely. It's entirely possible that Mark feels he's been thanked enough, and is now just embarrassed that we keep it around :) There are certainly enough other people with significant contributions on Windows who also deserve thanks.

One final option would be to move the "fix long paths" button to earlier in the install, though I'm not doing that during RC. The reason it's not part of the regular install is because it always requires Admin, and while it would be great to have it enabled by default, we already have enough people getting confused about whether admin is required to install or not (it's not, but you have to change the default launcher option on the front page).

Anyone have any thoughts?
