************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.Wednesday, September 24, 2008 9:11 AM

System.IO.PathTooLongException: 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.***********************************************
your failure probably is due to "Path + file name" are too long.
there is a limitation of the length of "Path + file name".
you can shorten your directory or file name to work around.
like "C:\FolderName\FolderName" to "C:\FN\FN"
or "NewTestFile.txt" to "NTF.txt"
generally, make the "Directory length + file name length" <= about 245 characters.
