Thread: Zip file issue

  1. #1

    Zip file issue

    I've received a zip file (that the recipient tells me has a password on it), I have a windows 7 machine (no idea what machine he created the zip on) and I've right clicked the zip file, and selected "extract all", it then prompts for a destination folder so I select a folder (still haven’t been prompted for a password here), and then I just get error messages....
    "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file..... "
    Error code 0x80004005: Unspecified Error.
    Any idea would the issue could be? Could it be to what they used to zip the file in?

    try using 7zip to unzip it. If that fails, try AlZip. Both are free.
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.

    Looks like a compressed and encrypted zip ....I think this will only work if you install winzip or winrar....only after installing these software u will get a pompt to enter password.
    Install winzip evaluation edition or winrar free edition....then try to unzip.
