Syncfusion's WinUI Demo Fails to compile due to long file paths

Steps to reproduce:

1) Download and install Syncfusion's WinUI control library.  By default, this will install the source code for the demo projects at:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\WinUI\19.3.0.43\SampleBrowser

The solution file (and SampleBrowser project file) will be contained in the SampleBrowser subdirectory:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\WinUI\19.3.0.43\SampleBrowser\SampleBrowser\

syncfusion.samplebrowser.winui_net50.sln

2) Attempt to compile the solution.  It will fail to compile with error messages indicating that certain files cannot be copied.  The solution fail to compile because of the excessively long file paths.

Info: Windows 10 / VS  2019 & 2022

WORK AROUND:
Move the entire solution closer to the root.  For example:

C:\SF\SampleBrowser

Now the solution will compile and run as expected.
