Stumbled upon this recently as well. This worked for me:

1. subst X: C:\Users$PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT to create a virtual mount
2. Open cmd
   • Type gpedit.msc
   • Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem
   • enable Win32 long paths
   • reboot
