Repairing a Zip File

The Zip file format is one of the most widely used data compression and archival format. In a Zip file, one or more files are compressed to reduce the file size or they can also be stored in their original form. ZIP files normally use the file extensions ".zip" or ".ZIP" and the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) media type application/zip. The files can be sent much more quickly through the internet using Zip file format. The Zip format offers very simple archiving which allows each file to be compressed separately. It is a very convenient file format but also prone to various errors. The possible reasons for that could be software malfunction, virus attack or unexpected system shutdown. You will receive the following error messages:

  • CRC (cyclic redundancy check) errors in downloaded zip.
  • Cannot open file: not a valid archive.
  • An error occurred while copying the zip file to the course directory.
  • Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
  • The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted.
  • The archive is corrupt.
