Hi I tried to create vsix extension using asp.net project template with javascript file on it this is my code on vstemplate for my javascript file

 <ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true" TargetFileName="Administrator.js">Administrator.js</ProjectItem>
 <ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true" TargetFileName="AdministratorCreate.js">AdministratorCreate.js</ProjectItem>

But I got this message when tried to build my vsix

Error Problem occurred while extracting the vsix to the experimental extensions path. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft{path}\Administrator.js'.

I really confused with this error and I cannot find the answer. Can anyone help me to solve this?

Reduce the characters in the product name or author in your manifest. The most likely reason is the path length.

The default path that is generated is %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio<Experimental Version><Author><Product Name><Product Version>... So anything that is in your control to reduce the length to below 255 chars should solve this issue.
