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 -- Usually if we have a big feature folder name.


Double-Click on Feature and then Hit F4 to change the feature folder deployment name.

By default the value for Deployment Path is:

$SharePoint.Project.FileNameWithoutExtension$_$SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension$

Change the Deployment Path value to:

$SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension$
