What Causes Corrupt Zip File Errors
If you are trying to open a Zip file but are getting an error
message such as "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive" or a similar error then you have
probably got a corrupt Zip file.
File compression allows a file, or many files, to be compressed (Zipped) into a Zip archive
file. Zip file formats are widely used for storage and backup purposes, as well as the transfer of large files
across the internet for example.
The compressed contents of a Zip file may
subsequently extracted, or unZipped, returning the file, or files, back to their original decompressed state.
To ensure the file data is the same after extraction as it was before compression, a checksum called a Cyclic
Redundancy Checksum, or CRC, is used to form part of the Zip file structure. A corrupt Zip file will occur if the
CRC of the file to be extracted doesn't match that of the original.
This kind of error can occur when part of the Zip file content becomes corrupt during an interrupted download, file
copy or move etc.
As a result, it is not possible to extract
the contents of a corrupted Zip file using standard file compression tools.
