I only partially can unzip my archive because the file path is to long. Is there are any way to unzip it. It’s an archive with mp3 files, some of them can easily be unzipped, but about four files got more than 256 characters in file name.

Have you tried putting the zip-file in a top level folder with a one letter name, and unzipping to the same folder?

Can you tell me what “top level folder” is? If I understood you right I need to create folder with one letter character, copy zip file to this folder and unzip file to the same folder. I did that; unfortunately I received the same message.
If I understood you wrong please correct me.
Thank you.

I meant making a folder on for example C: named Z, hence the path you could control would be kept to C:\Z\. If it still doesn't work, then the paths or the file names inside the ZIP file are too long. If this is the case, I cannot see how to resolve the problem.
Good luck Nigel

Thank you Nigel, I did it and it didn't work. I guess I have to wait for more posts on this forum.

One more thing to try, is to open the zipfile and copy the files to a folder, one by one.
