Description

In case I got a VisualStudio-solution with several projects (by email or from somewhere else) and within the solution one or more projects are in physical directories which include "%23" in there path, e.g.
> C:\users\someuser\source\repos\_1.12\%231986\A-Serie-XYZ

During Solution-load the following error raise up in VisualStudio's error pane:

Because "%23" is transformed to "#" which is physically not available.

Host: VisualStudio 2019 Preview, 16.2.0 Preview 3.0
