#551 Error dialog "Compressed folders - error"

[Micael Lindqvist]

Rencently downloaded 24.03 (64-bit Windows x64) since our earlier version 18.06 started to prompt an error dialog (se message below, translate from Swedish to English) when trying to open the files zipped with zip and encrypted with AES-256.

Error dialog
"Compressed folders - error
Extraction could not be completed
Goal file could not be created"

Version 24.03 beta - same prompt as 18.06
Version 24.04 beta - same prompt as 18.06
Also tried version 23.01 - same prompt as 18.06

My feeling is that the error accured after a Windows 10 patch somewhere near 2024-03-23.
Any suggestions of what we can do to fix this?

You try to use zip program from windows.
And zip program from windows doesn't support AES-256.
Use 7-zip instead.
