I cant run the ReactRedux template in Visual Studio 2015 because of the following exception.

Error   MSB4018 The "FindConfigFiles" task failed unexpectedly.
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.
   at System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck, Int32 maxPathLength, Boolean expandShortPaths)
   at System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(String path)
   at System.IO.FileSystemEnumerableIterator`1..ctor(String path, String originalUserPath, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption, SearchResultHandler`1 resultHandler, Boolean checkHost)
   at System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles(String path)
   at TypeScript.Tasks.FileHelpers.RecursiveGatherFiles(String directoryPath, String projectPath, Func`2 filter)
   at TypeScript.Tasks.FileHelpers.RecursiveGatherFiles(String directoryPath, String projectPath, Func`2 filter)
// ...

The reason is, off course, the long folder path and the limitation of windows.

How to deal with this? Is there something i can do without simply moving my project to another, shorter folder?
