Yes, that would be better.

I am working with an administrator account on Windows, so I don't think
that permissions cause the problem. The paths are quite shallow (direct
subdirectory of 'C:\').
The files get extracted just fine. Maybe this warning can be safely
ignored. It is just annoying that it produces so much output.

Works without any warnings. But maybe the warnings are just not
displayed...
