Issue 1: On initial check-in or doing a new pull, Git will fail with long file name issue Add the following to registry (there's alreawdy a longpath.reg in the how-to folder file created so just run that): "LongPathsEnabled"=dword:00000001 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem Make sure Git for Windows is installed Open command prompt in admin mode and run: git config --system core.longpaths true ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue 2: If the solution folder is located in some long path, Visual Studio will not be able to extract Raytheon.Instruments.InstrumentManager.GeneralInstrumentManager.1.4.1.nupkg to cache folder. Even if we manually move the DLL to the cache folder, Visuao Studio will not see it Find a location where the path is not too long and it will build. So work out of there instead ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue 3: If building for the first time after doing a Git pull, it will fail because there are a few packages that need to be built first and published to the "SolutionPackages" folder since other projects that depend on packages in that folder. So if the build fails, keep building until succeeds. Takes about 5 tries
