2. Unpack each of the parts into a single temporary directory on your system.
3. Use short path names for the directory used to extract the packages, for example: C:\tsm_images. Path names inside the package are long and extracting the package to a lengthy directory name can cause problems with the 255-character file path limit on Windows.
