After downloading the eap deployable zip, it cannot be opened on Windows7 with the Windows Explorer (the default application used to open archives), saying the zip is invalid. See screenshot. Opening the zip with another zip program (for example 7zip) works without issues.

I think this is possible caused by some file path exceed the maximum length windows allowed. Have a quick look at the some files located in business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/org/jboss/errai/marshalling/server/impl: /home/rzhang/lab/1brms6/6.1.0/bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6/jboss-bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6-deployable-eap6.x/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/org/jboss/errai/marshalling/server/impl/ServerMarshallingFactoryImpl$Marshaller_for_org_drools_workbench_models_guided_dtree_shared_model_parser_messages_BindingNotFoundParserMessageImpl.class /home/rzhang/lab/1brms6/6.1.0/bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6/jboss-bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6-deployable-eap6.x/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/org/jboss/errai/marshalling/server/impl/ServerMarshallingFactoryImpl$Marshaller_for_org_drools_workbench_models_datamodel_imports_ImportsImpl.class /home/rzhang/lab/1brms6/6.1.0/bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6/jboss-bpmsuite-6.1.0.ER6-deployable-eap6.x/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/org/jboss/errai/marshalling/server/impl/ServerMarshallingFactoryImpl$Marshaller_for_org_drools_workbench_models_guided_dtree_shared_model_values_impl_FloatValueImpl.class It would exceeds 260 （the default maximum length in windows). Kris, Would it report the same error if you unzip the engine.zip package in windows?
The engine zip opens up fine.
Mar Barkley was able to shorten the paths on the Errai side (see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERRAI-880). Now when I try to unzip the BPM Suite directly under c:\, it works using the Windows Explorer. Of course if you go deeper into the file system, like "c:\program files\my files\some other dir\" you will likely hit the path length limit again.
