How do I fix "No such file or directory" error when looking for weather file in Create DOE Prototype Building measure used in PAT?

I'm attempting to run the Create DOE Prototype Building measure in the Parametric Analysis Tool. I feed an empty seed model and specify the weather file desired (Houston in this example). However, the measure is failing based on the error posted below. I've tried feeding a seed model with the weather file already loaded and I've tried to trace the problem through the workflow without success. It seems like the weather file is identified correctly, but for some reason is not correctly extracting to the temp_data directory correctly.

Extracting weather files to C:/Users/Documents/ReferenceEnergyModels/testProto2/temp_data/analysis_ec1713cb-5006-40ab-adff-fc97882cf009/data_point_4405a42a-94c6-4476-a95b-534cc1b095f9/run/000_9a5b4d91-633d-4512-bd49-5276335aa178/extracted_files/weather [09:19:22.436968 ERROR] No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/Documents/ReferenceEnergyModels/testProto2/temp_data/analysis_ec1713cb-5006-40ab-adff-fc97882cf009/data_point_4405a42a-94c6-4476-a95b-534cc1b095f9/run/000_9a5b4d91-633d-4512-bd49-5276335aa178/extracted_files/weather/USA_TX_Houston-Bush.Intercontinental.AP.722430_TMY3.epw
