So, I just downloaded VS 2010 Beta 2, and when I try to build one of my class libraries with several resource files, I get the error:
“The specified task executable “ResGen.exe” could not be run. The filename or extension is too long”
before that, I get the warning:
Warning 4434 The command-line for the “ResGen” task is too long. Command-lines longer than 32000 characters are likely to fail. Try reducing the length of the command-line by breaking down the call to “ResGen” into multiple calls with fewer parameters per call.
Both of which, I am SURE tell me exactly what the problem is, but its not clicking with me. Since this assembly works in VSTS 2008, I am at a bit of a loss.
If necessary, I’ll enter a bug with MS, but I wanted to see what the collective wisdom of stackoverflow can do for me first.
I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve submitted the issue on the Microsoft Connect site:
