title: Android Studio: “Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'” if project is created on drive C:
body: <p>I added Google Play services as a dependency in my current project.
  If I save the project on the C: drive,
  I get the following error while syncing up the project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
         &gt; Error: Failed to run command:
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\build-tools\android-4.4.2\aapt.exe s -i C:\Users\ashokp\Desktop\Studio\AndroidV2SDK_AndroidStudioFormat\Google Play
         Services\SampleApplication\AndroidV2SDKSampleApp_GooglePlayServices\app\build\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services\4.3.23\res\drawable-hdpi\common_signin_btn_text_focus_light.9.png -o

         Error Code:
         42
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This only happens if the project is saved on the C: drive.
  If I save it to some other drive, it works perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone else face this issue?
  What causes this?
  How can I fix/circumvent this?</p>
