Hi everyone. I have a problem with WinZip file. When i try to open ZIP file where 5 files are compressed into one it says “Windows cannot open the folder. The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid“.
Please advice me some way hot to fix WinZip files.
I assume from the wording of your post that you're talking about one Zip file in particular and not Zip files in general, so I think your best bet will be having a try with "DiskInternals ZIP Repair 1.1".
It's right at the bottom of this page under "Freeware Products".

1. Click/tap on the link of the file extension type or protocol in the table below that you would like to restore the default associations of to download it's .reg file.
Save the .reg file to your desktop.
Double click/tap on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
If prompted, click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
I removed the link in the post above, not enough public information exists about the linked site (no WoT, not many links outside set-up posts). Sorry if it's legit, but it sure doesn't look like it.

Because, the given name is enough if the OP wants to follow-up on it, but the link, with it's unknown qualities (which I clearly spelled out) seems sketchy enough for me to consider it unsafe to have the link here on public forum. If you can provide me some proofs that it is safe, I'll allow you to repost it.
I literally just said in the post before yours I didn't want the link to zipfix in the forum until proof it's a safe site. I've again removed the link.
Edit: Especially as there are now at least 3 different links to this software and all are different.
I also removed the 2 links above
The first is a single (spammy) answer on a reddit (where anybody can post)
And the other is instructables and the references come from 2 different (again spammy) responses (that anybotty(sic) can post)
To the original poster, I'd follow the advice given by moderators (and long time helpers like MTA) before attempting to find/use the (seemingly spammy) fixtoolbox zipfix.
I welcome, reputable, information to make me trust these posts, but I've yet to see it.
@pinero9053 i'm giving you the benefit of doubt and not banning you, but it sure looks like you made 2 meaningless posts in order to post your links. Try to do better, or be considered a spammer.
