When I try to open Extension Manager I get this error message;
“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 have not done anything unusual, so why has this come up?
I understand I should be looking for files with long names in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions
but I have not located one yet that is longer than 248 characters
Same question at StackOverFlow
