Known issue: Project Path Length

[Itamar.Ankorion]

Some users may encounter an error message about the length of their SSIS project path when trying to activate the CDC Configuration Wizard.


If you’re seeing this message then the path for your SSIS projects is so long that adding the CDC solution directory structure under it will cause the path to some files to exceed the maximum Windows works with. The directory path for projects that use CDC is limited to 135 characters.

You can fix this by storing your SSIS solutions under a directory with a short path such as C:\Projects (instead of the default, which is: “C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects”). It is also recommended you use a short name of your solution and avoid using the default project name: “Integration Services Project1”.
