Extract a zip file

I have a program that includes a set of around 50 photos. I have zipped those files and included them in my build. Now I'd like to extract those photos to a folder during the installation process. I've reviewed the application builder, but can find no reference to extracting a zip file.
What am I overlooking? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

You can create another executable that can decompress the file. Then, in Application builder, in the "Installer Settings" tab, there is a button that reads "Advanced...". A dialog will open with an option called "Run executable after installation". You can call your decompression executable from there.
Another option is to check OpenG Builder, which is also an application to deploy LabVIEW software. The zip functions are included, and because is open source, you can modify it so the installer shows the behavior you want.

FSCM MP9 - unable to extract the zip file EODS_QUERY_FIX

Hi,
I am applying FSCM 9.1 Maintenance Pack 9 on Finance application.
During on estep I need to apply the project, which can be found on EODS_QUERY_FIX.ZIP
"Please locate EODS_QUERY_FIX.zip in upd878541\upd878541_install and manually apply the project to your Database."
I am unable to extract the zip file.
It's high appreciated if some one can help me in extracting or identifying the project.
Thank You!

Hi,
I had the same exact issue yesterday. From my install workstation I was unable to open the zip file but from another PC I could open it with no errors, so I've copied the archive I could open from my PC to my install workstation and still I could not open it.. very strange.
The difference between my PC and the install workstation was that on my PC I'm using 7zip and on the install workstation I'm using WinZip.
So I've extracted the zip file with 7zip on my PC then, still on my PC I've recreated a new zip file, transferred this to the install workstation and finally I could open it!
Hope this helps

Extract the zip files

Hi,
I want to upload and extract the zip files. However I am able
to upload the zip file but not able to unzip it after uploading. Is
it possible in coldfusion mx 7. I know its possible in coldfusion
8, but I need solution in version 7. Please let me know if there is
any free components or third-party API's.
Thanks!

as you know cf mx 7 does not have a built-in zip
functionality.
you will have to install a zip application (i.e. 7zip, which
is free) on
your server and use cfexecute to run it and unzip your file.
if you are on a shared hosting you are pretty much out of
luck - look if
your server has a pre-installed php or other script to manage
zip
archives...

How to create a self-extracting downloaded Zip file ...

I have a question about Mac file compression for an eBook PDF. I know how to compress the file with Mac OS X 10.8.5. I right-click the PDF I want to compress and select "Compress <file name>" from the Contextual Menu. The file is compressed as a ZIP file. The file I'm compressing will be distributed from a web server to Mac users.
SITUATION: I want the Mac user to be able to download the ZIP file to their Mac. Once the ZIP file is downloaded to their Mac, I want the ZIP file to automatically open to place the eBook PDF on their desktop - so please indulge me here. I know that a Mac user only needs to double-click the ZIP file to extract the eBook PDF, BUT, IF POSSIBLE, I want this to happen automatically after the ZIP file is downloaded.
QUESTION: Is there any way to automatially extract the eBook PDF from the ZIP file once the Mac user downloads the ZIP file to their destop? If so, how do I do this? If not, is there anyother way to do this that does not required any additional software like StuffIt Expander to decompress the file? As an aside, If I compress the eBook PDF using Mac OS X 10.8.5, is this compressed ZIP file compatible with older versions of Mac OS, i.e., can they double-click the compressed ZIP file to open it?
Thank you in advance for your comments and help . . .

In OSX, zip extraction depends on the browser and browser settings. For example, Safari will open files automatically depending on this setting in Sarari Preferences: So the short answer I think is no. Your zip recipients are going to have to click on the zips to open them if their browser is not set to open them automatically.
I'm no zip expert but I would think a zip is a zip and should be compatible with older versions of OSX. That is, 10.4 or later, which didn't include Stuffit any more. Earlier versions would need Stuffit or something similar.

Is it possible to extract a zip file places under DAM?

Hi,
     I need to extract zip files while uploading in the DAM. (kind of bulk uploading using zip format).
     is it possible? is there any default functionality available in CQ5.5.?
     Or any other solution(suggestion) applicable...
     kindly help...

There is a process step called Unarchiver that does this:

Extract the zip file

Today I tried to unzip my own zip.file but encountered some problem which never happened before, everytime it says "There is already a folder with same name as the file name you specified. Specify a different name" But i coundn't find a single place to change the file name! I am so confused right now! BTW, I zipped the project from a Mac and now I am trying to unzip it on Windows.
Thanks!

Again is this a java question?
Despite the fact that I don't care that it is an emergency I might actually provide an answer if you actually answered my question.
Conversely since you didn't, you now run the risk of me not answering it because, which is why I asked the question in the first place, you didn't provide enough information to provide a correct answer. Answering my question would help to do that.

How to FTP file and extract the zip file automatically?

Hi,
My app needs to FTP another site and also automatically unzip the transferred file over the internet by user clicking on one button. Any experts? thanks.

How do you open a can of beans before you take it out of the pantry?
However I suppose your question only sounded stupid like that, you didn't really mean it that way. One problem is that you didn't mention which way the transfer was going. I assume you are asking about getting a file and unzipping it? Many of the FTP clients described in the article that jmennen referred to allow you to get an InputStream that allows you to read bytes from the server. You would take this InputStream and wrap it in a ZipInputStream. That way you could unzip the file as you transfer it from the server, rather than having to use a temporary file between the two steps.
But if you really meant that you wanted the unzipping to take place on the server before you did the download, no, you can't do that.

Automator: Extract multiple zip files

I'm trying to create an Automator service for the Finder in Lion.
It gives me an "error in shell script".
What am I doing wrong?
I just created a similar script that uses "imguru" to upload images to imgurl.com which works great, so i'm thinking that it's must be the line with "unzip" that creates a problem.
Any help is appreciated

#!/usr/bin/ IS NOT a valid 1st line in ANY shell scirpt
You either want nothing there, or you want

Tried~
The problem is still here~ >___<
Anyway, thanks for information sharing~
The message is:
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.
The problem may be here:
if (fos != null)
fos.close() ;
if (bos != null)
bos.close();
if (zos != null)
zos.close();
if (file != null)
file = null ;
The fos is closed before bos so the last buffer is not
saved.
zos.close() is enough.

Extracting Zip files using PowerShell 3.0 on Windows 2008

I’m using a script to extract data to multiple servers, I’ve tested it many times, however an issue has come up that has me stumped. When extracting the zip file, it wants to create a top level folder the same name as the zip file instead of just extracting
the contents. Here is a sample of my script. What I need it to do is just extract the contents to the location I specify, but not create a folder with the same name as the zip file itself. Hopefully that makes sense.
( now the code I used is from a sample I found online, it’s been edited to fit my needs.

@jrv
I hate to hijack an old thread.
I have been playing with this for the past hour.
I have use this fine in an interactive console or the ISE.
But as soon as I place this into a script, and then run the script " .\script.ps1 "; nothing happens.
I obviously have some disconnect going on that I am not finding.

Can't extract Hotfixes and CU2 becuase of multidisk zip file?

Hi experts,
Does anyone download hoxfixes and MSSQL 2008 CU2 from microsfot but can't extract?
I download CU2 hotfixes from microsoft but when I try to extract, there always shows self-extracting multidisk zip file. How do I solve this problem? I call microsoft but the supports say they can just extract without any problem? Why? I try on many PC/Servers.

My company's proxy has some issue, I change it to another and everything is fine.

Extracting Zipped file

Hi All,
I have a requirement to extract the zipped file( not a zipped folder) inside a folder in the Application server for uploading records in to the database table. I need to unzip the file and after that I need to read the records from that extracted file. The main file and the zipped file both are having same name.
Help me to achieve this. Good pointers will be rewarded.

Zip file extraction fails

After downloading the trial zip file several time: ie via wireless, ethernet, I've been unable to extract the zip file to began installation of the program. I've downloaded the beta file on 2 different windows7 computers and have unsuccessfully tried to extract the zip file. I receive an error message while attempting to extract the archive.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Regards,
Wes

Nope, it's a zip. All it contains is setup.exe, though.
@a330,
Is that the filename and size that you see on your download?

Problems extracting .bin file from .zip file

Hi Arch Forums,
I face a very strange problem.
The firmware of my MP3 player is packaged as a zip file. This zip file contains some files with the 'bin' extension.
I extract this zip file using the unzip tool and use the resulting bin files to upgrade my MP3 player (just plain copy via USB, no fancy flash-ware). This results in boot problems and video problems on my Mp3 player.
However if I use 7-zip on Windows XP to extract and upgrade, my MP3 player works properly!
Now what do I suspect?
1. .bin files on different partition types? NTFS Vs Ext3.
2. the unzip tool
3. USB driver transmission error for bin files?
Thank you for throwing light on this.

I would start by doing an md5sum on the extracted bin files on both OSes. I know there are versions for Windows on the net.
This will determine if the files are the same in both places.
You could also through it on a thumb drive under windows, mount it under Linux and then do the MD5 on the file on the thumbdrive.
My money is on door number 3. How, exactly, do you send the file over USB?
