A couple of questions:

1) Do you have a C: drive? If so does this happen when the project is opened there?

2) Is your Windows D: drive a mapped network drive?

As far as I know neither of those should matter but I'm wondering if you are running into a corner case.

Also can you attach the full report .txt file from your compilation? There might be something else happening earlier in the compile causing the tools to think that your hierarchical path is too long. The way I interpret that message is that the hiearchy in the design itself is too deep which should be independent of the files on the file system. The only way to affect the design heirarchy is to modify the design, so is this the vanilla GSRD that you are trying to compile after re-generating the system in Qsys?
