Hi @sweeney1 thank you for your report! It seems this could be related to long paths on Windows. Could you please try enabling them using these instructions here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later, and then try to restart IDE and deploy AppEngine again - this should attempt to install the component again. Please let us know if this helps.

Thank you very much that was the issue. Working fine now. I suspect Intellij People need to set this registry entry on install by default. I Opened a ticket with them as well and will update it but maybe you need to tell them so this isn't an issue going forward using IJ. Thanks again.
