Mac6737 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 ​Several files that I have downloaded give me an installation error saying that the "path is too long"...Is there any cure for this? Thanks, Steve FWIW: I've cheated the system by extracting, not to Community, but to my Downloads folder itself, then simply moving the extracted folder into Community. It shouldn't work, should it? But it has for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover2005 Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I tried your method and it works! Thanks... Steve in Kansas 7 Miles NW of KGCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Whenever I get a "Path too long..." error, I just move the zipped file from the Download folder to the root folder (C:\) If that doesn't work, rename excessively large named zipped files to a single character (i.e., z.zip) before extracting.

mark.green Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi! I suggest to use Long Path Tool Software for solving this error. It has many great features like copying, deleting,renaming and unzipping long path files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
