Hello,
I am attempting to unzip the 4.9.0 archive on Windows 8 and am receiving several "path too long" failures (see attached screen shot). I've intentionally chosen a very short install path (c:\r490) to minimize the file path size.
Suggestions?
Thank you. Fred
Hi Fred. I'm on Win7, I use 7zip to unzip and have not had issues. I don't have access to Win8 at the moment.

Thanks Jay. 7zip worked like a champ. I appreciate the speedy response.

Hey,
this is unfortunately a known issue (which is why we recommend 7zip). The plan for RHQ 4.10 is to limit the path lengths considerably. You will then still not be able to deploy to c:\Programme und Daten\Für Alle Benutzer but at least to c:\rhq with the standard tooling.

From the RHQ docs:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Installing+the+Server#Installingth...
"For Windows users Do not install the RHQ Server into a directory with a path longer than about 19 characters (e.g. use C:\rhq rather than C:\Documents and Settings\myusername). Excessively long pathnames may cause errors during execution of the server - see this Microsoft MSDN article for more information. It has also been seen that unzipping the distribution using 7-Zip may also help avoid the long-pathname problem."
Check that MSDN article linked from the wiki, and see if using 7-Zip works.
