<p dir="auto">I have archive that holds password protected, encrypted data which is created using something like this:</p>
<pre><code>C:\Temp\ZipTest&gt;pacomp -a -spassword -fips -e2 archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest" -x"C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Then I add regular file into that archive which is not encrypted and not password protected. “ReamMe.txt” sort of file. Using command below.</p>
<pre><code>C:\Temp\ZipTest&gt;pacomp -a archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Now when I extract this archive using:</p>
<pre><code>paext -spassword -p"C:\ZipTest\Temp" archive.zip

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Everything extracts correctly except for ReadMe.txt file. File is present but content is empty.<br />
I get following</p>
<pre><code>error: extracting: ReadMe.txt   --&gt; CRC ERROR! [100%]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">How can I extract archive without corruption ReadMe.txt file?</p>
