From my experience, all you need to do is shorten the path. If need be, make it something like c:\xxx and no more, i.e. don't use any subfolders and keep the name as short as possible. That used to do the trick for me.

Your local path for Studio project+project subfolder name+path of files in the package is too long
Feb 11, 2018
Yes, I have this every now and then. It is caused by the names of the files contained in the package are already very long (the client did not think of long filenames being problematic at different stages). When I add to that length a long folder name in my computer (i.e. a subfolder of my project folder), the path is too long and Studio won't unpack.

I got this problem with Studio 15 and and a package. After several failed tries at "shortening" the path, I just copied and pasted the Studio Package to my Samsung external memory and it worked. Studio was happy about it and allowed me to open the package from there.

Save to root for the job
Jul 3, 2018
I have occasionally had this problem. A workaround is to create the project folder in the drive root, such as C:, then when you are finished the job move the project folder out of the root to wherever you want to save it.
