Impossible to extract a specific zip file

chrisw

Hello!

I just want to tell you that i discover a problem with this specific link http://www.mister-bills.com/downloads/MrBills.zip.

I can read this file but it is impossible to unzip it with PA. The internal Windows XP Pro zip/unzip can unzip it without any problem.

Could you mind tell me why a such problem occurs.

Regards.

Chris is right. PA won’t extract it. But it does open and extract with 7-Zip file Manager and Winrar. :rolleyes:

chrisw

Is 9.5 version of PA will solve this problem ?

I hope yes !

PowerArchiver - Shell extension - test reports
“All files OK”

However, open file with PowerArchiver and then run test reports
“Unexpected end of Zip file”
But click OK (twice) and test reports “No errors in the archive”

Why is there a difference between the test reports??

chrisw

I have try the same operation and i was suprise that the test reports was ok.

So i agree with your remark.

Regards. :rolleyes:

its the zip engine dynazip that is at fault here you can download a trila of it from there web site and it fails too

Even trying PA Repair doesn’t work
Open MrBills_PAFixed.zip file with PowerArchiver and then run test
Still reports “Unexpected end of Zip file”
Then click OK (twice) and test reports “No errors in the archive”

This will be fixed in 9.25. PowerArchiver will have better tolerance for out-of-spec ZIP files.

Thank you.

PKWare’s SecureZip as the only reference for ZIP archives extracts MrBill.zip without errors, so MrBill.zip must be a valid zip file.

spwolf

No, it just ignores the errors, like new PowerArchiver will do.

So where is the error in MrBill.zip exactly?

spwolf

Check this release out and see if it helps:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release/powarc925.exe

This is 9.25 beta thats going to be published in a day or two.

thanks,
