OpenStudio PAT Worker Initialization Failed

Hello all, long time lurker, finally asking a question as I am at a loss: I have a model I created using OpenStudio Application v3.6.1; a decently simple 26,000 ft^2 office with four DX/electric resistant heating RTUs which runs without issue. I am wanting to get familiar with measure writing and the like especially for calibration using OpenStudio PAT 3.7 tool; I also have OpenStudio SDK v3.7 installed. To start, I wanted to make sure it functioned manually with measures from BCL. I saved a version of the model, without any measures, as the model seed along with the weather file in a folder directly in my C:\ drive. I found that previous users had issues with directory names which are long and/or with spaces. I created a PAT project in the same manner. In that project I loaded two basic measures, 'General Calibration Measure Multiplier' and the 'OpenStudio Results' measure. These were setup to increase lighting use factor by 1.1 and report the results. When I try to run this in PAT I get the following error on the first alternative; the second alternative gets stuck because of this. Any help is appreciated.

Error: The worker initialization failed, which means that no simulations will be run. Error: If you see this message once, all subsequent runs will likely fail. Error If you are running PAT simulations locally on Windows, the error is likely due to a measure file whose path length has exceeded 256 characters. Error Inspect the following messages for clues as to the specific issue: Error: Extraction of the analysiszip file failed 3 times with error No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - JCl_LenexaKSBranch/temp_data/analysis_dc3c3a68-af77-4d96-9060-0fc18bae0448/measures/6b37673b-b0d8-4ab4-8f5a- Oa48f170b4e8/resources/Siz.CoilCoolingWaterToAirHeatPumpVariableSpeedEquationFitSpeedData.rb; 'rescue in block in initialize_worker'
