HT202731 Open archive.zip

Have a 3 file archive.zip file and cannot extract & open files inside

I have been a Mac user for 20 years. I used to compress files using DiskDoubler before I archived them. As I changed Macs, I moved my archives from removable external SCSI discs to ZIP drives and CDs. I would now like to be able to decompress/unarchive certain DD files, from the early 1990s, but cannot. I have tried the Unarchiver SW but it is unable to do anything with the DD files. I no longer have the DiskDoubler app, nor do I have OS9 (classic) on my iMac (running 10.4.11). However, I do still have the OS9 CD.
Has anyone got any ideas? The DD files are not large and do not contain anyhing especially secure.
Many thanks
Patricia

Permission to open archived, .zip files

What Application or utility allows a "user" to open an archived .zip file that they have made themselves. I can open an archived .zip file as the administrator but my user that has limitations cannot open one that they have made so I want to give them the "permission" to open the archived file.
Thank you, Linda

OBIEE Dev VM Install Issue:Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive

All,
I downloaded all eleven files for the OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207).
I checked the MD5 Sum of the first two files and the MD5 Sums match, however when I use 7zip to extract the files, I get an error that says: Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive
Has anyone encountered this issue? I verified that the files are not read-only and that they are not "blocked" by Windows.
I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Edition on a Dell laptop.
I encountered this error on two separate archives with correct MD5 Sums.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
I got the same problem. Have you found any solution for this? Thanks.

Windows fails to open Samba ZIP archives with names over 8 characters

I have an XServe running OS X Leopard in Advanced mode. It is running Samba in order to provide file sharing services to Windows clients within our network.
I have Vista running in VMWare Fusion, accessing a file-share on the Leopard server via Samba. I have stored a .exe file and a .zip file on the share. When I try to access these files, I am able to successfully access the .exe but not the .zip.
The error I receive (upon attempting to open the ZIP archive) is:
"Windows cannot open the folder.
The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'Z:\1234abcde.zip' is invalid."
Sometimes copying the file to the local desktop succeeds (allowing me to open the file from there) and sometimes it fails with a message about an "invalid file handle".
If I shorten the name of the zip archive to only eight characters (plus .zip) everything works. The executable, which also has a long name, never presents any problems (I am able to double-click and run it, as well as copy it).
I have no problem accessing these files locally on the server or from a Mac OS X Leopard client (via Samba or AFP).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Erik

I think it's built in, just double click on it and it should open with Archive Utility. I dunno, maybe Unrar X might work for you>

CAN'T OPEN A ZIP FILE

I have an archive zip file of work. A zip file that I archived using the default utility in the Mac OS. The file will not open and never would from the day I archived it. I archived several folders of work that day, and they others open without issue. The folder in question goes through the motions of opening up but ultimately fails with a message "error code 1 - operation not permitted".
There are no locks or passwords associated with this file and the information window for the file shows that permissions are read and write for any users.
What could have gone wrong with this file?
Is there anyway at ALL that this data can be retrieved?
Since archiving seems to save only a small amount of data
size, is there any argument for archiving in the first place?
thanks,

I have tried stuffit expander and a couple of others to see if there would be any change in the lack of success with unzipping the file. None of them had worked and fail with an error message of their own that equates to a possible corruption issue.
I archived them in the first place, because they were files that I generated in a previous year here at university and needed to archive. The idea of "archiving" to me meant that I was basically boxing them up for use at some later date, but not something I had any intention of accessing on a regular basis. Now I'm developing my portfolio and there are a few works from that file that I need to include.
In the future I will never archive files again. I've never seen a significant reduction in file size by doing so, and if there's the risk of corruption in the process. Enough said. I will simply back up to external for quick access and burn to disc for "archiving" literally into a box somewhere.
For the one response that suggested "CLI", I can't figure out what you were instructing me to do.
thanks for the replies,

My Photoshop cs3 freezes whem open archive

I have a problem with my photoshop cs3, the last day when I go to open archive the program freezes and not work and i can't close...only crt/alt/sup and close...what can i do? i try to reinstall the program and repair photoshop but not works, but when I'm out of photoshop (program closed or open..) and press right button , "open with...photoshop cs3" this it's the only way what to open archives for photoshop...thanks for yours possible solutions.

What archives? If you are referring to ZIP, then that's an operating system thing. Most likely in that case, your temporary directory is full. Use CCCleaner or similar tools to do a little housekeeping.

Access 2010 checking if a user has opened a zipped rather than expanded database

Is there a property or method that can be used to detect/ check if a user has opened a zipped copy of a database?
I distribute a zipped copy of a database and expect users to extract it before using it but some times a user simply opens the zipped copy and later encounters problems. I would like to display a message notifying the user that they must first expand the
zipped file before opening the database.

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program

Hi All,
I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue.
Regards
Jithu

Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal

Hi all
I am facing a problem while opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal. It gives the error- "Cannot open file- It doesnt appear to be a valid archieve" for every file.
Is there any setting to be done in SAP Netweaver or is it the system limitation.
Please help...

I have uploaded a .zip file in Enterprise Portal folder. When i click on the file, it opens with Winzip application. But then it gives the above mentioned error. I have tried another way also- I downloaded the file on computer drive and then tried to open it but same error .
I hope it will make the picture clear.

Can't open the Zipped file

Hi
I am making a zip file using GZIPOutputStream. But I am not able to open the zip file that is created using win zip.The size of the zipped file is 81 KB and the input file is 3,245 KB.I have closed all the streams still I am not able to figure out the problem.Any idea where I am going wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here my code goes:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          GZIPOutputStream zipOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(outputStream);
          FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
          byte[] temp = new byte[10000000];
          int counter = inputStream.read(temp,0,temp.length);
          zipOutputStream.write(temp,0,counter);
          inputStream.close();
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Thanks
Ritesh

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my code to look like this:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          ZipOutputStream zipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(outputStream);
          ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
          zipOutputStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Now I can atleast open the zip file. But the problem is the size of the file is 0 kb. Probably because, I am not populating the Zip entry. Can u pls let me know how do I do that.
Thanks
Ritesh
