Yeah, I have switched it back to its default, incompatible mode. I looked at the command line options for 7-Zip, of which there are plenty. But as I understand it, this must be set right by Windows. So 7-Zip alone can't do it? There is the chcp (change code page) command in Windows, but some people on Stack Overflow warned that it's "dangerous and inefficient" to use.

Since I'm on Windows 10 past version 1903, I enabled the Beta option "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" in Region Settings (accessible via intl.cpl). And it worked! I can now extract this Zip with 7-Zip, PeaZip, WinZip, WinRAR and Windows Explorer. Finally! After almost 2 weeks of head scratching, and checking and typing the password many times. I did get to it after 2 days with Linux, and then with WinRAR. But I was puzzled by why it didn't work with anything else I tried....

Here's a log from the report tab in PeaZip. Log from 7-Zip is further down. 7-Zip 22.01 (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2022 Igor Pavlov : 2022-07-15 Scanning the drive for archives: 1 file, 1849211 bytes (1806 KiB) Extracting archive: C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\Dump\test\Employee.zip -- Path = C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\Dump\test\Employee.zip Type = zip Physical Size = 1849211 Sub items Errors: 71 Archives with Errors: 1 Sub items Errors: 71 2: Fatal error occurred, I can't get any more details than this. But since...

I have never actually used the 7-Zip command line. I never had a reason to. I use the GUI, and it just works. I normally use PeaZip for all my archiving needs on Windows (and it uses 7-Zip), but I also have 7-Zip installed as a backup. The password is 15 characters long and consists of lower case letters and digits (alphanumeric). It's all Latin letters, but it does contain one letter with a diacritic (non-English letter). You may be onto something here! I will try the command line and let you know...

Hello! I have a Zip file that 7-Zip fails to extract. I have used 7-Zip 22.01 (x64) and I updated to 23.01 (x64) but the results are the same: it fails. I am using Windows 10 version 22H2 (build 19045.4291). The file is password protected. I know the password. I paste in the correct password when prompted, but 7-Zip reports "wrong password". However, 7-Zip is not the only software that fails the task. PeaZip 8.8.8 (Win64 Build, x86_64), which uses 7-Zip (7z 22.01) also fails, but with less descriptive...
