I am trying to read an esri file geodatabase that is zipped but I get this error
Geodatabase Error (-2147024893): The system cannot find the path specified.Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `C:\\Instaplat\\workspaces\\TexasWorkspaces\\INSTAPLAT_PROTOTYPE.gdb.zip' for reading
A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details
I have attached a workspace that produces this behavior, any help is appreciated.

Hi @garydlester,
If you are running this workspace on Windows 10 or higher, can you try following the instructions in this article, Windows: Enable Long File Path Support? I suspect the issue is that Windows has a maximum path length restriction of 260 characters, therefore during the zip file extraction, if FME Engine encounters a long path that exceeds this limit, the process will fail.
