title: Visual Studio 2017 failing to install nuget package in .NET 4.7 project
body: <p>I'm getting the following error when attempting to install a nuget package into a standard .NET framework 4.7 project:</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Visual Studio 2017 15.3.3 Enterprise (latest and greatest).</p>
  
  <p>Given that this is my package, I have full control over the source code. The interesting part is that I have used this package in the past with no changes in the name, but for this go round, I rebuilt it to add a feature and am now getting this error.</p>
  
  <p>Even more interesting is that I have packages from the same library, with the same namespace conventions, with <em>longer</em> names, that work just fine and have installed into this same project with no problems at all.</p>
  
  <p>I have already tried shrinking the package name, shrinking the class names within the package itself, cleaning out the build directory, cleaning out the package home from the nuget server (it's a local server with the latest nuget.server installed which otherwise works just fine), and even clearing out the bin directory of the project in question, clearing out ALL the bin directories of ALL the ancestors to the "offending" package, clearing out the package cache, rebooting the computer and rebuilding the entire nuget package chain from scratch, all to no avail. I was told by one of the MS MVP's that "they fixed that". Apparently not.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated here, I'm at my wit's end and have run out of ideas to try.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
