Other Steps to Reproduce

Everthing worked fine on 2.0.14

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

You are hitting a rather nasty problem with Windows, the new toolchains and the length of your username. Windows has a limit of path length of 240/256 chars and when your username is longer, combined with the required path for some headers in the toolchain, you exceed this limit. Resulting error is like this, which does not really point to the issue.
Your only current way is to shorten your Windows username to Thorbjörn or shorter

I thought so.... any info on how to change username on windows 11 accounts?

...or do I need to create a new user account?

Hi. I had the same issue, so I am going to try this solution, about changing the installation for a portable folder.

Portable install could also do. Since this is the first time that we hit this issue with xtensa toolchain (we have already done what we can for RiscV) for future versions we will shorten the package name to allow for longer usernames.
