Cannot open c:test7z as archive

Hi guys, I am at work adding add-ons to our company application, since the add-on files are compressed using 7zip, I extract the files using 7zip, I did not succeed in extracting the files, I meet an error, the error message tells me that it cannot open the extracted file, I include the screen shot of the error below.

7-Zip

Can not open c:test7z as archive

As I analyzed the error, it is pointing to the file that I want to extract, so I try to extract other file for the sake of problem isolation, same error message appeared, I scan my computer for some virus that might infect my files, but no virus was found, I restarted my computer, and try again to extract the same files, same error appeared, please share some ideas on solving my problem, thanks in advance.

Dear Mikeallway

There are two causes for this error and you will check step by step.

  1. It’s possible that virus infected these archive files and 7 zip unable to extract that corrupted / infected files. (You should thoroughly scan your system through updated antivirus and also scan archives files repeat thoroughly scan not normal scan)
  2.  It’s possible that your 7 zip software has been corrupt and unable to extract said archives. (Uninstall and re-install your 7 zip and try again)

Other solution:

Try to extract these files on some other computer using 7 zip, if these files extract successfully then problem in your 7 zip. If problem are the same then virus is confirm.

 

Take care
