I think you're bumping into the windows maximum path length which is 260 chars: This explains: Why does the 260 character path length limit exist in Windows?

  • No. I guess this is a different issue. I tried even installing in c:\abc\ folder. I still get the same error. – user7193637 Nov 25 '16 at 12:52
  • I have successfully added that package to a vs2013 solution, but only if i put my project in a shorter path length. I can get this error if i use the default path under your user path which is too long (if you use vs2015 it even tells you that this is the case). – James Woolfenden Nov 25 '16 at 13:24
