Getting errors when unzipping the Windows x64 about the file path being too long. My starting path is 20 characters deep. Should I use software LongPathTool?
Yes — Windows still enforces path limits during unzip operations, so even a short starting path can trigger “path too long” errors. Using LongPathTool is a good way to extract or move the files without hitting those limits.
@AnnaLepos I would suggest just unzipping it to a new folder on the root name A. This should be sufficient and then you do not have to install software to extract the zip file.
Windows can still struggle with long paths. Tools that handle long file paths have helped me in similar situations.
Using LongPathTool makes dealing with deep path unzip errors much easier.
