This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing a 'Path too long' error when trying to extract the SitePress Multilingual CMS ZIP folder after downloading it from the WPML Downloads page, this summary is for you.
Solution:
We recommend checking the path where you are trying to extract the ZIP file. Windows, in particular, can have issues with long file paths. Try extracting the file to a location with a shorter path, such as directly under your C: drive or another root directory. If this does not resolve the issue, please ensure that your file extraction software is up to date or try using a different software.

If the solution provided here is outdated or does not apply to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

I tested this by unpacking the .zip file of the latest WPML Multilingual CMS plugin and encountered no issues. Could you please provide more details about your steps?
