************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi,

This exception seems to be Windows related - the max Path cannot exceed 260 characters. It seems it's fixed in the latest Windows version, based on this blogpost. 

Can you share more information about the version of your windows and how exactly this happens? 

Regards,

The path to long error is a known bug in all flavors of Windows.  Your solutions are:  Map a drive letter further down the path so your overall path is less than 260 characters. There is a configuration setting you can set in c# to use long path names if you are using the correct flavor of .NET and windows.  By default .NET uses the short path names and thus you get the error.  (Compatibility reasons)

Sorry but the precise keyword eludes me.  I haven't had  to use it in 2 years.

I suggest you try Long path tool is the very good program for easily delete, copy & rename long path files, error, unlock solution.
Try it and solve your problem.
I used long path tool and I solve my error, unlock problem solution.
