SL5 Batch Build Errors

[Wayne]

Build Fails due to apparent bug in batch copy logic?

Hi,

the problem is that the path is too long (over 260 characters), this is a Windows limitation, that we cannot bypass.

I would suggest shortening the directory's name, for example:
C:\InstallsFromOldDell\Telerik\RadControls_for_Silverlight_Source_2013_1_0403\...
to something like this:
C:\Old\Telerik\SL_Src_2013_1_0403\...

That should fix your issue.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if any further questions arise.

Regards,
Petia
