   and cannot be unzipped.

 * Hi [@admintiger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/admintiger/),
 * Can you please check on another computer as I am able to download/unzip the file
   perfectly as expected. You can also get the zip file from here [http://cld.wthms.co/RVh95d](http://cld.wthms.co/RVh95d)
 * Cheers!

 * I tried from that alternative URL using a different Windows 7 computer and the
   same thing happened. The zip file downloads with no problem, but the unzipping
   process hangs under Windows 7 with an error message about not being able to create
   a path to a .css file.

 * Hi [@admintiger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/admintiger/)
 * This definitely looks like something pertaining to your computer like a permission
   issue. Can you try on another computer preferably a Linux or a mac machine and
   check if this is still happening.

 * I unzipped the file under Linux without any difficulty. The problem under Windows
   isn’t due to a permission problem. It is that the wc-braintree.min.css filepath
   in the zip file isn’t a valid path under Windows.

 * Further to my post above, the filepath isn’t valid because it is too long. File
   and folder names combined contain too many characters.

 * Hi [@admintiger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/admintiger/),
 * Thanks a lot for the explanation! I see what you mean, Windows allows the full
   file path to contain only 256 characters or less. The easiest way to work this
   around will be to unzip the files to a root folder with a short enough path (
   such as `C:/tmp/`). Other suggestions can be found in this article:
