1) Maximum project folder length should be checked that it doesn't exceed 256 symbols. But now only "Project Name" length is checked, "Project Location" value is ignored and as a result user get's "Cannot create folder ..." error without explanation. 2) NTFS filenames can contain any characters, including spaces, uppercase/lowercase except for the following " * : / \ ? < > |. But only "*", "?", "|", ":" are checked and message about incorrect folder name is shown to user. There are no error messages for other forbidden symbols just message that folder can't be created when user presses "Finish" button. It's even possible to create project with name which contains "/" or "\" symbols. 3) Enter forbidden double quote symbol (") in the "Project Location" field - "Project Name" is not valid folder name" error message appear. But "Project Location is not a valid path" is correct. 4) It's also possible to clean "Project Location" or enter only space symbols as location and project will be created.
