CAB Kit Fails Build

[spinozagl]

This is great that Telerik is working on a CAB kit. When you try to build the solution in VS 2005, it lists several files that are missing from the download. Am I missing something? The application runs fine if started from shell.exe in the bin folder

Error    1    Source file 'C:\learning\TelerikCAB\FinanceApplicationCAB\Source\Infrastructure\Infrastructure.Library\Services\XmlStreamDependentModuleEnumerator.cs' could not be opened ('The system cannot find the file specified. ')    Infrastructure.Library

Hi Shailesh Mark,

I suppose that you are experiencing the "long file path" issue. Windows imposes a limitation on the maximum length of a path - 260 symbols. The CAB Kit generates a directory structure consisting of many long folder names. The length of the names of the folders, combined with the length of the names of the folders preceding the location where you have it installed, probably end up exceeding the limit.

Try extracting the .zip file in a place with a shorter path (for example C:\).

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
