Outlook 2010 can't open zip files in public folders.

The temp folders are empty.  This is a new install.  

This is very odd.  I have a new install of Win 7 with Outlook 2010 and I can't open a zip file attached to an email in a public folder.  It is not isolated to a single zip file, machine or user either.  I can open .pdf, xls, .txt and others OK.
Ideas? 
Thanks!

  • Can't Open Zip files

    Everytime it fails. I can't open zip files. Does anyone know why. I have my settings to allow all files when downloading something. When I go to download and it is complete it gives a setup exe. then I click on it and it does nothing.....
    Plesae help...Starting to drive me nuts!

    Hi Booher,
    Zip files are cross platform. Doesn't matter if it's an a PC or a Mac. Either can open or create them. But .exe files are Windows only. An .exe is an application compiled for MS DOS or Windows, as are .com files. They won't work at all on a Mac without running them in a Windows environment such as Virtual PC.
    The only exception is if the .exe is a self extracting archive created on a PC. That is, a .zip file converted to an .exe so if the person the compressed files are sent to doesn't have a way to open a .zip file, it will run as a program to do the same thing. These, OS X can open and extract as if it were still a .zip file.
    You mention that one of the .zip files extracted its contents as a file named setup.exe. This will not work directly in the Mac OS in any way, as it is a Windows application/program.

  • Can't open zipped files

    I can't open zipped files that have been sent to me. I have found the files I saved in Archive Utility and when I try to open them a dialogue box says the default app is BOMArchive Helper. If I click that something I cant read flashes on the screen but nothing opens. If I try to open with Word a dialogue asks what I want to open with giving options such as MS-DOS Text, RTF,HTML document etc. If I click on these a word document opens full of gooble de gook

    Ah! Different situation. I just noticed that you're running Tiger and posted to the Snow Leopard forums. If you're running Tiger, then you might be right, but since I haven't used it for almost four years, all I can suggest is that you post to the appropriate forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=177

  • I can't open zip files.

    I can't open zip files.  Archive utility flashes and disappears.  Archive utility does not seem to be in the utility folder.  Tried repairing permissions and verifying disk.

    Archive Utility is a System-level component; it doesn't live in the Utilities folder.
    Wher did the .zip files come from? There may be a problem with the files themselves.
    You can try using the Unarchiver, but  I'd expect AU to handle them OK.
    When you say it won't open them, are you sure it hasn't? It doesn't open a window with the contents usually - it simply puts the enclosed contents in the same location as the .zip file. Is there a folder or .dmg that looks like it may be related?

    Hello Yong,
    Thanks for posting in our forum. Seems you've already tried lots of things, and I can see that those are all steps that reportedly have worked for others.
    Here is one more thing that you might want to have a try:
    Open Registry Editor
    Go to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
    Highlight the key, select the (Default), select "Modify..."
    from the pull-down menu and then enter the value below: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE"
    "%1" (include the quote marks)
    Then OK your way out
    Please have a try and feel free to post back.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Can't open .zip attachment in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    Dear all,
    In Adobe Reader 8.1.2 I can't open zip files attached to pdf files any more. I followed some hints in the knowledge base but none of them solved my problem. The registry editing suggestions for rel. 7 doesn't apply to version 8.1.2. and setting the trust option didn't help as well.
    In brief what are the steps in order to allow reader 8.1.2 to open zip attached to pdf files???
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.

    > The registry editing suggestions for rel. 7 doesn't apply to version 8.1.2
    You can use the suggestions for version 8.1.2. Search the registry for cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms.

  • Can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email

    we use :
    microsoft xp & office/outlook 2003
    can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email
    If we save an email as a outlook.msg file , we can only open it once, close it,
    when trying to open it again it gives an error that it is not possible due to a scurity issue or it is already open.
    After closing outlook and starting it again, we can open it once again.
    Same when clicking an .msg that is attached to an email, but here we can switch to another email, go back to the one and open it again.
    We have installed all updates for both xp and office 2003 also internet explorer 8.0 to test if that would work, normally we have ie7.0.

    1 Translated from dutch as good as i know :
    "Can't open : c:\test.msg, it might not exist, do you have the required permission to open the file or is it open in another application. Click
    with the right mousebutton on the map click properties to view/check the rights for that map."
    2 tried both, the network and locally, i have the rights to save it in the map and open it once, so thats not the problem, iseems that outlook locks the file after it is openen once.
    3 security and ntfs permissions are ok, see 2
    4 tried it from different pc's networks maps etc.
    5 done.
    6 in a pst file the msg can be openen ore than once, but thats not the problem, tried and this works, but i need to save an email as an .msg file.
    7 addins removed and doen all of that part, didn't help.
    We also have tried:
    -Installing all updates and ie8
    -going back to xp sp2 (fresh install of xp)
    Only thing that did work was an msg file attached to an email, we couldn't open that more then once,
    but after  checking "Use exchange modus with cache" at the account properties we could open that more than once.
    Now we need to be able to open the email's saved as .msg more then 1 time.

    Hi Eidda,
    This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

    That's a question only the provider of the application can answer.
    You could also take a look into the system event log if there is an indication for the reason of the application failing to start properly. It is possible that certain services are required for the application, but they do not run on the machine.
    Another point is possibly missing rights. So you might want to test the application once with the option "Run as Admin" (right click menu item on the application shortcut or the exe itself).

  • I can't open Adobe files and keep getting this message: "Adobe failed to connect to the DDE server" - anyone got a fix for this? I'm Windows 7, 64bit running Office 2010 Pro Plus - anyone got a fix for this?

    Hey Jorge,
    I've checked Reader, and there are no updates. I've run a Windows version compatibility test - although it only goes up to Vista, and not Windows 7.
    Anyway, it appears I can now open Adobe files - but I've found another issue: when I right-click on a file and scroll down to the 'send to email recipient', it doesn't automatically open an Outlook email with the file as an attachment - in fact it doesn't open Outlook at all, let alone automatically?
    Any clues?

  • OneNote recordings "We're sorry, we can't open the file because it is in use by another program."

    Constantly, OneNote breaks and screws up my recordings that are synced with my lectures. It is such a fragile process and very frustrating. As soon as I'm done recording, I press stop. When I test the recording, it says, "We're sorry, we can't open
    the file because it is in use by another program." I just recorded and then stopped it. If i close and reopen OneNote, it says, "oneNote is cleaning up from the last time it was open." And the recording still says it's in use by another program.
    I've even restarted the laptop and it still won't open. The only way i could salvage the file is if I copy and paste it into another folder, and then it will open through windows media player, but all the live syncing with my notes are gone. Where are these
    files stored? If I could save the sound and find the file/format that holds the syncing data again, I could work around this. They are no where to be found on my computer. Other forums give locations, but my folders are empty. Some other recordings work and
    sync nicely, but I have still lost many recordings to this error. However, if I play a file and then close it without stopping playback, that file, too, will now be unusable. It will be stuck as "We're sorry, we can't open..." no matter what i do
    and again i have to copy/paste it into a new folder and then move it back. I had the same problem on my last laptop. I record in Windows Media Audio 10 Professional at 192 kbs, 48 kHz, and stereo CBR. I need the high quality because the lecturer is too quiet.
    It seems to happen when I record long lectures, 45 min+. Shorter recordings tend to work fine.
    Please help, this would make note taking so much easier.

    A bit of a confusion on my part;
    Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
    Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
    Now, looking at this paragraph:
    BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
    I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
    CRRedist2008_ia64.msi
