I haven't had any issues until this week with publishing courses to my desktop. Yesterday I was able to publish one course to my desktop but then received this error message with the second course (see attached image).
I then tried to publish to my C: drive and again received the same error message.
File and directory names that are too long will not publish properly. Be sure the file paths to your projects and published output are well under the 260-character limit imposed by Microsoft Windows. (Publishing adds characters to the file path. If it exceeds 260 characters, your published output will be incomplete.)
2 particular courses are located in the same location and I have had two different outcomes when trying to publish both of these courses to my desktop and/or my C: drive.
Yesterday one would publish to my desktop and the other would not.
So I thought maybe I needed to restart my computer, so I did that.
This time the one that would not publish did publish to my desktop and then the other one would not. So vice-versa on when I received the error message.

Does that point you in the right direction?
Hi Crystal - I'm afraid it doesn't.

Hi Adam,
If that didn't work, can you look at going through the repair steps here?
