Description

When the user attempts to open the downloaded response file, Windows displays the following error: “Windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination path is too long. Rename the Compressed (zipped) Folder and try again.”

After renaming the ZIP folder, the user was able to successfully extract and access the files.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Reproduce the response-file download and extraction on Windows, then trace the code responsible for creating the ZIP and its paths; done means the downloaded response files extract successfully without requiring the ZIP folder to be renamed.
