While the archive file is intended for this purpose it is limited but the fact that it is built using PowerShell and PowerShell is limited by the fact that it is built on .Net. Specifically .Net utilizes the System.IO library which until .Net 4.6.2 was limited to 260 characters long (REF). This limitation has now been removed but only for operating systems that support this (Windows 10 Creators Update and above) I'm not aware of this functionality being available on Windows Server yet.

Hi @Rmpanga if the issue is the extraction to the long path name(above 260 Characters) as it seems to suggest in your initial report have you considered working around the issue by using the archive to extract to somewhere short such as C:\Temp and then use a File Resource to move the files where they are needed as a separate action?

Yes, I have this workaround. I have a non dsc script that unzips the file and use the file resource to copy over the files. Is the archive resource not intended to unzip and place the files in a specific location?

Thanks for the information.
