Good day to all,

On the HDD, I have enough records with archives, but now, one of them stopped to open and gives an error message: "ZIP file is corrupt".


Maybe a virus or system failure resulted in damage to the archive.

How to open zip archive?

@jackhopkins You can use 7ZIP to open archives and .ZIP files

Try open it via 3rd parted applications (WinRar, WinZIP or 7ZIP). If this programs not opened it try some zip repairs (exp. Zip2Fix, Object fix zip etc.)

Guide below must be helpful, if it doesn't work make use of Zip Repair Toolbox

· Visit a website that has a ZIP repair program available for download. An example of such a program would be WinRar.

· Download and install the program onto your computer.

· Activate the program by double-clicking on the shortcut icon on your desktop, or through the "Start" menu.

· Select the Zip file you wish to repair in the box on the program screen. You can browse your computer by clicking on the down arrow next to the browse menu bar.

· Click the "Repair" button at the top of the program. It will have an image of a red cross on it. A new window will appear. Click on "Treat the current archive as ZIP" and then click "OK." The program will now repair your archive
