About 95% of the way through extracting I get an error message: Error 0x80010135: Path too long

C:\programs\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\ etc.. or you just have too long names, for example if you have a long username or the files have long names.
Try to move it somewhere else and put it as "soon" as you can in the path, like C:\Users\username\Downloads, and if even that is too long try just extracting it in C:\ directly. Let me know how it goes!
