Hi,
I suspect you encounter this issue because your Windows doesn't have LongPath enabled. By default, Windows paths are limited to 255 characters, and the one you shared is longer than that.

It's not the first time someone encounter a similar issue. I just made a few changes to give a heads up when building and when running init.ps1.

Here is the PR: #1168

@veler Yep, enabling long paths has fixed it! thanks very much!
