Hello Guy! 

I appreciate you sharing the issue that you're currently experiencing. Please be sure you are viewing the published content in the environment it was published for and not on your local machine.

My first thought for your error is the file path length, which is already 127 characters. When published, this will expand:

Be sure the file paths to your projects and published output are well under the 260-character limit imposed by Microsoft Windows. (The publishing process adds characters to the file path you selected. If it exceeds 260 characters, your published output will be incomplete.)

Could you move your file to your desktop, reattach it to your resources, and see if this alleviates the error you're seeing?
