There's one type of errors that - very insidiously - does not appear immediatly when it occurs for the same task, you can smoke it out only on a later stage.

It's the "specified path, filename or both are too long etc..." Tipical case, you're creating a project and you get a failure at the populate project tm task (unexpected exception etc...). As you decide you can live with it and go further, so you finally know the truth (screenshot no.2).

Since it's about the very same reason (system cannot create a new file due to the path length restriction), I'd expect it made clear since the beginning.

Can anything be done to get more consistency when about error messages?
