Spring Tool Suite download and installation

Question

I've downloaded spring-tool-suite-3.6.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32-x86_64.zip and getting the following error while trying to unzip and install:

Error 0x80010135: Path too long
POM.properties
Type PROPERTIES File
Date Modified 6/11/2014 12:47PM
Size 146 bytes.

What may be the reason?

Try and save it in the `C:/` and see what happens. Seems like you're trying to save it somewhere too deep — Paul Samsotha, Sep 27 '14 at 07:36

Possible solutions:

Rename spring-tool-suite-3.6.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32-x86_64.zip to springts.zip
Move spring-tool-suite-3.6.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32-x86_64.zip to C:/ or in another location that is not very deep.
Change your extractor to 7-zip.

I did a combination of #1 and #2. I put the zip folder in a folder I created at the C drive, so this was my path `C:/STS`. I renamed the zip file to `STS-3.6.1.zip`. That fixed the path too long issue. I am using Windows 10 and was able to use the native zip program to extract. – Cale Sweeney May 01 '17 at 22:48
A simpler version: right-click on downloaded zip, click on "Extract All..." and simply change the name of the new folder the contents are extracted to. I changed `C:\Tools\spring-tool-suite-3.9.2.RELEASE-e4.7.2-win32-x86_64` to simply `C:\Tools\sts-3.9.2` and averted any error msg. – TimeTrap Mar 05 '18 at 21:58
7zip works well... also I extracted in Downloads folder itself – Shachi May 24 '19 at 10:30
7zip is pretty much fine. – RAVI KUMAR SHARMA CSE16 Jul 07 '20 at 07:57
When I changed winzip for 7zip, then work well. Thanks!!!!! – GILBERTO LINS May 21 '21 at 13:14

Try with any alternative for zip such as 7Zip or WinRAR. 7Zip worked for me

This happens because of the zip file name being too long.You can rename the downloaded zip file to something like STS.zip (Give a short name) and then try to extract it.The error should now disappear.

When you extract, it will try to extract in a folder named "spring-tool-suite-3.6.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32-x86_64" which is too long for a folder name. Simple rule of thumb -- install to C:\ and rename the above to STS361_x8664. Be very frugal with folder names.

This happens because the file name & path are too long. Rename them to something smaller and simpler.

Here is the link that I found helpful
