Hi guys i been working on a “easy translator” type of app on Flow and really struggling to get it read shapefiles in a zipped file. 

Error message below.. have no idea why it add a “_0” after “.zip”.. can this be the reason it failed?

 

Shapefile Reader: 'C:\Users\SVCAWS~1.SC\AppData\Local\Temp\fmeengines\AWSGISFME01_Dynamic_Engine1\TempFS_1725628283291_20936\dsGENERIC_1_0\Inputtt.zip_0' is not a valid Shapefile and cannot be read

 

Thank guys!

Hi @pinkopo, what version and build of FME are you using? 

 

Its possible that the file path, with the zipped folder included, exceeds the windows limits: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407469875469-Windows-Enable-long-file-path-support-in-FME. You could test this by temporarily reducing the path(s) to <250 characters or by increasing the path limits in the instructions above.
