TFS Build Error - Exception Message: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters

I am trying to set-up CI of Orchard CMS and deploy it on Azure using TF service. I am stuck at following error for path being
longer than 260 characters. However, when counted the total characters in path are 235. Please see the below error :

Did anyone came across such issue while deploying Orchard on Azure with TF service? If yes, how did you sort this freaking error?
Thanks,

Hi AltafB,
For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>

<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

Powershell Get-childItem: The specified path, file name, or both are too long.

Hey Scriping Guys!
I've been using a PowerShell script for a couple of years now to generate a monthly report showing the size of user folders on a number of departmental file servers. It's working just fine on all file servers except one where the users have gotten carried away with creating sub-folders and using realy long descriptive file names. The problem piece of script is this:
$colItems = (Get-ChildItem \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum)
"marketing-serv\marketing: "+"{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1GB) + " GB"
The reply I get is:
Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully
qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name mu
st be less than 248 characters.
At G:\data\Server_space_Report\serverspace2.ps1:37 char:27
+ $colItems = (Get-ChildItem <<<< \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Obje
ct -property length -sum)
Yes, the message is correct, however, when I connect to the server, right click the folder and chose properties it returns a size of 128 GB. My questions are
1. Why does clicking on folder properties not produce an error (what is it doing differently from my script)?
2. How can I fix my script?
Thanks,

I am trying to clear up the older open posts on this forum. If this is still an unresolved issue for you please let me know. If you do not post back within one week I will assume it is resolved and will close this thread.

Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi, Im trying to get the whole path in my server, so i tried that with this following code
Get-ChildItem $sourceFolder -Recurse | ?{$_.PsIsContainer} |Get-Acl
But then, it showed me somtehing like this :
Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I tried to find the solver everywhere and mostly they propose to change the path name, which is impossible, since I am working with my company server, and those folder have already there before i start to work here, then the other ask me to use robocopy,
but all of the trick just dont work
is there any way to solve this problem? thanks

There is no simple solution to this. And it is not a limitation of powershell itself, but of the underlying NTFS file system.
If the problem is that a folder with a name longer than 248 exists anywhere within your directory structure, you are hooped.
If the problem is that some fully qualified path names exceed 260 characters, then, in those cases, the solution already given is to create a psdrive partway up the path from the drive letter or server/share root of the path. Unfortunately, the output produced
will be relative to that psdrive and not to what is specified as the $sourcefolder.
unless you already know where those problematic paths are, you might consider trying to trap those errors and have your script figure out where it needs to create psdrives. You might then be able to calculate the equivalent path for each file or folder and
output that. the programming effort would be simpler to just created a psdrive for each folder encountered, however I expect that would be very inefficient.

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

I've followed
this blog post, but it didn't work for me. I truly don't want to change my solution path as this is not acceptable. What else can I do?
I can't believe we still have limits on path length.

Note that the solution described in the blog post does not change your solution path. The _CSRUN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable sets the location of the temporary folders used by the compute emulator. Your solution does not need to move.
Though, you may still have problems related to path length inside your solution. To resolve these, I have sometimes used symbolic links (using MKLINK /D link target) or substed drives (SUBST X: path) to create shorter paths and then opened the
solution from there. If I recall correctly, with the first method, you need to be careful how you navigate to the solution in the Open Project dialog. I think that if you browsed to the path, it would still use the long path, so you need to paste the short
path into the file name text box to go directly to the location of your .sln file. I may be misremembering the details though.
BTW, I can't believe we still have limits on path length either.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

This is very frustrating.
The more I use Windows built-in backup the more fragile it seems to be.
The D drive is a local drive and the path is valid.
Running check disk finds no problems. The drive is mostly empty.
I tried with and without the anti-virus software, same problem.
There are no other server errors to indicate a problem with the drive or the path.
I ran vssadmin list writers, and none of them returned any errors.
Why would the backup return an invalid path error, for a path that is valid?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
James.

Hi Sriram,
Thanks for getting back to me!
I'll try to mail them to you before the end of the week.
A quick question:
if the backup failed to find and copy a single file or directory (for whatever reason), why does it abort the whole process?
The file in question was not critical, so having it missing from the backup would only have been a minor inconvenience.
Obviously, you want to log such an event very clearly, but it does not make sense to me for it to kill the whole process...
Will this be improved in future versions? I have to admit, I've not seen much backup software stop because of such a trivial error, except maybe "copy" from the command prompt.
I think the built-in Window Server 2008 R2 backup software is very promising, and overall, I like it better than the old NT Backup crud.
However, from my limited use, it still seems rough around the edges; too many glitches and problems, something you don't want to see from your backup software.
Thanks much,
James.

In trying to uninstall PSE10 and then re-install, got error message 2343:specified path is empty. I can't continue uninstall or re-install.

Hello. I couldn't get my Topaz plug-ins to work (kept crashing without saving the image), so I uninstalled/reinstalled, and no improvement. So I decided to uninstall and re-install PSE 10 to see if that would help. I got an error message: 2343: Specified path is empty, and then the uninstall quit. That's where I am now. Can't find it in my Control Panel Uninstall programs list, but it is still in the programs file. Not sure if I should delete all the folders and .dll's in the program folder. (It wasn't showing up in the Control Panel before I tried to use the disks, either.) I'm using Windows Vista. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Nevermind. I found it by searching Google. "Error 2343.Specified path is empty" | Install | Windows

The original post is from 2010 so not sure if he found the solution or not.
What happens if you open a cmd windows and type the following?
echo %APPDATA%
It should find something like:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming
In this case username should be your login name.
Do you have any problems installing other software?
Some possibilities - perhaps you have a corrupt user profile.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/vista-installer-problem-p...
Or perhaps you don't have all your updates and your installer needs updating.
Search for: update microsoft windows installer vista
Make sure you have the latest one.
Hope this helps.

Security.Cryptography - The specified path is invalid. while accessing the private key stored in LocalMachine store

Hello,
I have C# dll which is invoked through a C++ cgi executable which is deployed on apache 2.2. I am getting the following error when I am trying to access the private key of a certificate which is stored in the Localmachine store. It works fine while
debugging in visual studio.
It also works fine when I try to access the same certificate from the current user store through apache.
I have tried running apache as "SYSTEM", even then I get the same error.
I have followed the right process to import the certificate into the localmachine store through mmc.
Error Message:
The specified path is invalid.

The above error is not really helpful as it doesnt tell me which path is invalid as I am not passing any path in my code. I am just accessing the certificate through the X509Certificate2 store
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This is probably because the worker process identity does not have read permission to the machine key store.
And I agree with you. "The specified path is invalid" is a typical misleading message.
You may need to clarify the difference between "SYSTEM- User" and "Current-user "through apache. Good Luck!

SCCM 2012 - Adding Operating System Installer (The specified path does not contain a valid operating system ..)

I have encountered the dreaded "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path" message that seems to be popular in many forums .... BUT, so far none of the "solutions"
have fixed the problem (of I don't understand the fix)
Configuration
SCCM 2012 SP1 5.0.7804.1000
WADK 8.100.26629.0 < Suggested Fix
Server 2008 R2
SCCM Administrator with UserID = SCCMAdmin
Steps / Fixes I have followed
I have configured a administrative share
\\caleb\sources$ to hold directories (such as Apps, Drivers, and OS) with the following NTFS Permissions
EVERYONE has Read and Execute, List folder, Read permissions<o:p></o:p>
SYSTEM has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
SCCMManagers (our group that has all SCCMManagers) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
SCCMAdmin (the SCCM Admin account that we are using to import image) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
Local Administrators (the local machine administrator) has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
<o:p></o:p>
Another Fix is to explicitly grant all permissions to the SCCM Administrator
<Suggested Fix
>Administrative Users ...
Properties of the SCCM Administrator (for us that is SCCMAdmin) has all the boxes checked<o:p></o:p>
Another suggestion I was able to glean was to Specify the Network Access Account
so I configured SCCMAdmin as the Network Access Account.
Another potential fix is that the image ISO file that has been downloaded is corrupt.   So, I downloaded the Win 7 (and Win 8.1) ISO's from MSDN and did a Checksum check.
I then mounted the ISO (on 2008R2 I use VirtualClone Drive) and copied the contents of the image to
E:\Sources\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896 for Windows 7 with SP1
To double check,
I computed the Hash on the Install.WIM located in the Sources directory and compared with
the computed Has Tag for the Install.WIM on the ISO Image ... and the Hash tag of the WIM's matched (extracted vs what is contained within the ISO)<o:p></o:p>
I tried to load the images into SCCM 2012 using the "Operating System Installers" option
UNC to installer
\\caleb\sources$\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896
Then I receive the lovely message <o:p></o:p>

Specify Remote Folder - The specified path is not a remote shared folder

I'm getting this error when I try to check a backup stored on a NAS. When I attempt to recover from it, I pick "A backup stored on another location" then "Remote shared folder".
I put in the path: \\192.168.16.17\public\server\2014-01-24
And what I get is the above error message: "The specified path is not a remote shared folder"
The path clearly is a remote shared folder. If I paste it into explorer it opens fine, and I can copy/delete files from it. What gives?

That's correct; the folder I specified above contains the WindowsImageBackup folder. I can access that folder fine in Explorer, but when I try to direct the backup to it it gives the error I mentioned: "The specified path is not a remote shared
folder".
Note that the error message you receive if you specify a folder which does not contain a WindowsImageBackup folder is "The specified remote shared folder does not contain a backup. Provide the path to a remote shared folder that contains backups."

Database does not exist in the specified path

Just bought a USB 6009 DAQ and for some reason I now keep getting this error: "Database does not exist in the specified path" in VI Logger 2.0.1 it was working. Can anyone help??

Jared,
It sounds like VI Logger somehow lost its association with its
database. Please open MAX and check out the "Historical
Data"->"Citadel 5 Universe" entry. Under "My Computer" in the
right-hand pane, you should have a database called "VI Logger Data". It
must be spelled, spaced, and capitalized the exact same way. If you do
not have this database (which I suspect you do not), right click on "My
Computer" and select "Create/Attach Database..." The default database
path (if you want to have access to your old data) is C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\VI Logger,
with the database name as "VI Logger Data". If you want to create a new
database, then specify a new path.
If "VI Logger Data" does appear, a possible fix is to detach and
reattach it. Right click on "VI Logger Data," select
"Detach/Delete...," and chose the "Detach" option. Finally, reattach
the database as described above.
Hope this helps,

Interesting db mail issue. If i click send test mail from sql mgmt studio, it works fine, but when i execute a SP to send a mail, it fails. One thing I noticed is that the "LastModified" column in the mail log shows the domain account when a test
mail was sent from mgmt studio, but show "sa" when the SP was used to send mail.
This is from SQL 2012, did not see this in sql 2008, looks like 2008 always used the service account. any ideas ?
Get this error:

Hi Ranga,
I also use SQL Server 2012. I send a test email through SQL Server Management and the last modified By “sa”.
If you used stored procedure to send a test email. Please use the command below:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'Adventure Works Administrator',
@recipients = '[email protected]',
@body = 'The stored procedure finished successfully.',
@subject = 'Automated Success Message' ;
I can both send test email through SQL Server Management Studio and SP. Make sure you have the right profile. Since you could send test mail via SQL Server Management Studio, please try again to send it via SP.
Thanks.
