I have a step for unzipping an archive.Action is set to extract,Checkboxes for 'Include subfolders' , 'Use Directory names' and 'Overwrite read only files' are checked.
Last time when ran -it failed when extracting some files:
..............................
Patches\2008_Q4\Release4\BT10752_TradingDayRange is not correctly loaded from DB\2008 Q4 NG BT10752 TradingDayRange is not correctly loaded from DB patch.sql
Patches\2008_Q4\Release4\BT10752_TradingDayRange is not correctly loaded from DB\2008 Q4 NG BT10752 TradingDayRange is not correctly loaded from DB rollback.sql
Error creating output file
2/04/2009 7:47:29 PM: Step 'UNZIP the DB Upgrade zip file' failed
2/04/2009 7:47:29 PM: Build ended.

I tried to unzip the file using WinRar\WinZip -no error appeared.
But every time when I try to unzip it with VBP -same error appears ,at the same files.
Any idea how can I solve this issue?

Please ZIP and post or send to support@kinook.com:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) A screen shot of System properties (Windows+Break)
3) The .bld file (including the UNZIP step, and the ZIP step if VBP is used to create the .zip file)
4) The problem .zip file (also indicate how the .zip file was created)
5) A build log file

Thanks.

This is the answer I got from support:
//*******************
It looks like you're running into a path length limitation of the unzipping component used by the UNZIP Files action (DynaZIP). Testing here, unzipping to

c:\temp\unzip\a really long

works, but

c:\temp\unzip\a really long folder

results in 'Error creating output file.' Either use a destination folder 30 characters or shorter or check the 'Convert long filenames to 8.3 format' option.
