[8.52] Unzipping aborted with recent ZIP files

[robby]

I have recently purchased a game provided as ZIP file. The internal ZIP decompressor does not work: the unzipping process is quickly aborted releasing the following error message:

--------------------------------------------------

The same problem occurs if I use an OLD versione of WinZip (v 10), but unzipping is accomplished successfully with a newer version (WinZip 20). I suppose that the internal decompressor is somewhat obsolete, and unable to cope with recent ZIP protocols.

When you open such ZIP file in 7-Zip,

1) What does it say in "Method" and "Version" columns in the file list?
2) What does it say when you press the "Info" icon in the toolbar?

[ghisler(Author)]

I wonder about that too. There are some zipx methods not supported by TC, like special mp3 or jpg packing. But they have different method numbers and don't cause a crash.

Ehm... sorry, it's not clear to me where should I look for these data...

I've downloaded and installed 7-Zip... and now?

You should install the Total7zip plugin, not the 7-zip program.
Then you can associate the plugin with zip files.

You can see the mentioned "Method" column and "Info" icon on the following screenshot of 7-zip File Manager with opened 7-zip archive: https://www.simplecomputingguides.com/sites/default/files/How-to-use-7zip-to-manage-compressed-files-13.jpg

I'm sorry I don't ignore your post, but how that advice will help Christian to find out the reason of the crash?

Not at all, but it will hopefully help you to open this files with TC

I checked the crash report - the error seems to happen somewhere in lzma decompress. So the files are probably packed with lzma, but do not correctly implement the standard, or use some new packing method not supported by Total Commander.

I got this error today.

The zip file can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/file/0zz1kyyru0y/VirtualDubMod_1.5.10.3_b2550.zip

Strange, I don't get any crash here with this file, also tried TC 8.52. I will analyze the stack trace.

[petermad]

The zip file can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/file/0zz1kyyru0y/VirtualDubMod_1.5.10.3_b2550.zip

I don't get any errors unzipping this file with TC either (TC9b8 and TC8.52a x64)

[BeckYang]

I just check my TC version. It's 8.52 32bit (2015-08-26), not version 8.52a
I didn't notice there is newer version. Thank your help.
