Hello,

I tried to open a locked zip file using the NSIS 2.51 and NSIS3.0rc1. However, when I extract the zip using the exe file, it extract files having no content (0 bytes). The zip contains only jpg files. please let me know if anything needs to be done. Thanks.

Regards,
Hitesh

    I'm not working on NSIS right now, please reassign this ticket to someone else.

    You will need to provide some information that can help resolve the ticket, like which zip file you are talking about and what steps you are taking. Without this information, the issue cannot be resolved.

    Are you talking about Zip2Exe?

    What is a locked zip file? Do you mean a password protected zip-file?

      Hello Anders,

      I refer to NSIS which I downloaded from following location:
      http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download

      Yes, locked file means password protected zip file.

        I understand where you got NSIS from but NSIS comes with several tools. The compiler used to create installers from a scripted text file and it is called makensis.exe. There is also a GUI tool to create installers from a .zip file and it is called zip2exe.exe. Both of these are a part of the NSIS package and I just need to know which tool you are talking about. It sounds like you mean zip2exe but it is not really clear. I don't think zip2exe supports protected .zip file but you can just extract the contents and create a new .zip file that is not password protected and open that in zip2exe...

            Zip2Exe does not support encrypted/protected zip files.
