Summary

So far, we think the issue is a combination of Windows not having paths longer than 260 characters enabled by default, but is possible to fix on Windows 10. On Windows 10, after doing the registry fix (and now also the Group Policy Editor preference) (and rebooting?), you must enable core.longpaths in Git for Windows and possibly other Git clients you may be using.

Error

Solution

Step 1: Run Registry Modifier

Download and run this script to apply the fix –>  Remove 260 Character Path Limit.reg

Reverting

If you need to go back for some reason, run this file:

Restore 260 Character Path Limit (Default).reg
