Github Error on recent Promoted branch during Setup bat

Promoted Branch -
During setup.bat I get this error

Checking dependencies (excluding Mac, Linux)…
Updating dependencies: 0% (0/84)…
Failed to download ‘http://cdn.unrealengine.com/dependencies/2636758-e606e606851e4693b1729dd35dcef7ae/345f37ad429b27f1360cf26aa535ef037724f7c4’: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. (PathTooLongException)

What does this mean?

Hello,

Try unzipping the folder closer to the root of the directory. This error usually occurs because the file is placed too deep inside of a directory, which eventually leads to a file path that contains too many characters.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day

I’m experiencing a similar problem, not getting the same error of path name being too long (though it appears similarly long), rather “UnauthorizedAccessException”, see attached. I searched the path and on get to .git folder, don’t see the file itself showing, even with Show Hidden enabled. The UnrealEngine-Release resides within Documents, so don’t see how the path could be too long anyway. Thanks for advice.

Hey BenjvC,

  • Have you tried redownloading the .zip file and running Setup again? Is it possible a file got corrupted?
  • You mentioned “see attached” but there doesn’t appear to be any attachments? Did you forget to attach something?
