Hi @Arpit_Alne

Could you please try moving your project to a location with a much shorter and trying to open it from there?
Just as a test, simply move your project folder to your Documents folder and try opening it from there.

Did it help to remedy one of the “path too long” errors?

Hi, @Arpit_Alne

The path you are providing is probably more than 260 characters and therefore it is throwing an error, if you allow the long path this issue might be resolved.

Steps you need to follow for enabling long path:

  1. Accessing Registry Editor

    • Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

  2. Navigating to the Key:

    • In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem.

  3. Changing LongPathsEnabled:

    • Look for the entry named LongPathsEnabled.
    • Right-click on it and select Modify.
    • Change the value to 1 and confirm.

  4. Restarting the Computer:

    • Close the Registry Editor.
    • Restart your computer.

  5. Accessing Group Policy Editor:

    • After restarting, search for gpedit.msc in the Windows search bar.
    • Open the Local Group Policy Editor.

  6. Navigating in Group Policy Editor:

    • In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem.

  7. Enabling Win32 Long Paths:

    • Find the policy named Win32 Long Paths.
    • Double-click on it to open the settings.
    • Select the Enabled option.
    • Save the changes and close the Group Policy Editor.

Or just…shorten the folder names so the path isn’t so long.
