error in installation of knime python based extension

Ok, that has nothing to do with long paths.

With which command exactly did you create the extension? In new bundling environments the build_python_extension.py does not provide the whole environment anymore. Instead, during installation it tries to download all the packages necessary.

We can check which one is the case: have a look at the size of org.finiti.panel_builder.channel.bin.win32.......:

  1. Some hundred MB? Then it should have been bundled with an older bundling environment and we need to investigate further.
  2. Some 5-30MB? Then there is no complete environment shipped with it and it cannot be installed on a computer without internet access.

For the second scenario, you can bundle it again with build_python_extension.py --include-packages --knime-version 5.1 <path/to/extension> <path/to/destination>. Have also a look at build_python_extension.py --help.

Does that work for you?

Best regards
Steffen
