File name in zip file corrupted

Asked by d_melnyk in File Compression Utilities, Miscellaneous Software

Tags: Zip

Hi Folks:

    I have a zip file which has a corupted file name - ie. the zip file contains only one file, but the file name is a NULL - winzip, winrar etc. can recognize that there is a file but cannot unzip it as there is no "file name" in the zip archive for the file. Some repair utilities seem to "find" the file but cannot fix the file name in the zip archive - I am a little loath to keep purchasing zip repair utilities that ultimately fail to fix the file. I really need to find a way to fix this file. Any suggestions or info about repair utilties that can deal with fixing the filename header in a zip file would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Dave Melnyk, Toronto
