## Issue: </br> Error stating that "Path is too long" when extracting files from .zip archive, needed to install Windows Subystem for Android (WSA)
### Preface:
##### This issue is caused if the folder name is too long. This is the typically the case as MagiskOnWSALocal script tends to generate a long string for the .zip file and the folder within the archive.

## Solution
The solution is simple, all you have to do is:
**1. Rename the .zip/.7z file to a shorter name, which can be anything to your choosing** </br>
- For example:
- **Before:** WSA_2XXX.XXXXX.X.X_XXXX_Release-Nightly-with-magisk-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-MindTheGapps-XX.X-RemovedAmazon
- **After:** WSAArchive2XXX
**2. Rename the extracted folder to a shorter name, which can be anything to your choosing** </br>
- For example:
- **Before:** WSA_2XXX.XXXXXXX_XXXX_Release-Nightly-with-magisk-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-MindTheGapps-XX.X-RemovedAmazon
- **After:** WSAArchive2XXX
