Hi, I get an error message when unzipping kibana-7.10.0-windows-x86\_64.zip. Towards the end of the extraction process I get the error message

`Skipping file: unable to create a sensible filename out of "C:\Users\...\add_documents_accordion.scss"`

I have already tried to unzip it in a short folder name, i.e. c:\Temp, but to no success. It seems the temporary files are still extracted to a long Windows path in Application Data.  
Can anyone advise please!

Regards,  
Eugene

Looks like that path is right up against the 200 character limit we impose on the build.

`x-pack/plugins/ingest_pipelines/public/application/components/pipeline_processors_editor/components/test_pipeline/test_pipeline_tabs/tab_documents/add_documents_accordion/add_documents_accordion.scss`

Since Windows has a 260 character limit which can be disabled in Windows 10 ([details](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation)). The archive includes the archive name `kibana-7.10.0-windows-x86_64`. This brings us to 229. With `c:\Temp` that puts us at 237, so we should technically be well under the 260 limit.

i would recommend trying [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/) to extract the active if you haven't already. The unzip will also be substantially faster using that as well.
