You may get this error if you are using Git Bash for building, you should use
PowerShell or VS2015 Command Prompt instead.
### cannot create directory at '...': Filename too long
node.js has some [extremely long pathnames](https://github.com/electron/node/tree/electron/deps/npm/node_modules/libnpx/node_modules/yargs/node_modules/read-pkg-up/node_modules/read-pkg/node_modules/load-json-file/node_modules/parse-json/node_modules/error-ex/node_modules/is-arrayish), and by default git on windows doesn't handle long pathnames correctly (even though windows supports them). This should fix it:
```sh
$ git config --system core.longpaths true
```
