[Bug]: Compile transformer blocks when on Windows
What happened?
When activating the option "Compile transformer block" the cache under user/username/appdata/local/temp/torchinductor etc wasn't updated properly due to long file path exceeding the Window limit (260 characters) And then cause errors because files where not not found, just missing.
A fix has been found by enabling LongPathName in Regedit. Edit its value to 1 as a decimal.

What did you expect would happen?
Not having Windows users to trick the system to use that feature. But the regedit trick do the work.

I don't know of a clean workaround. We could shorten the base path so the total path is maybe 240 characters, but it could happen again then with longer kernel names. Unless many users are affected the best workaround is enabling long paths and waiting for pytorch to address it
