I’m getting the same kind of error as described here. I’m running in to the file name limit of windows in TFS Build. The answers to this question suggest redefining the build agent working directory. I’m not sure if I should do this. I have a few questions…

  1. Does changing the build agent working directory affect me, or everyone using the build agent?

  2. The build agent is not ran by me, it’s on a different computer controlled by a different department in our company. I can get to the “manage build controller” settings, and I seem to be able to make this changes, I’m just scared to!

    It is used by every build task that uses that build agent so yes, it could affect multiple people. If you’re running into a path limitation, you should definitely change the working directory. I would just clear it with the other people in the department before you proceed, just to make sure everybody knows what’s going to be done.
