Hello,
This is a common example of RAR file error which refers that the file is impaired or corrupt. Follow the following steps and you may have solution to your problem.
1. First attempt for WINRAR repair. Press ALT+R for WINRAR program and you will find a Repair Prompt.
2. Select Archive as a RAR file and click OK.
3. If still the problem persists, look for recovery record of the impaired file and repair the file.
If you are unable to find recovery record then you might have to opt for a software tool to repair them.
Or when you are extracting the files go for ‘Extract To’ option. The ‘Extract path and Options’ window will appear. Click on ‘Keep Broken Files’ check box.
Now when WINRAR encounters any problem it does not discard everything and you will find the files in path specified. The files might be broken but utility of some files might be useful.

Hi.
To fix it find exactly which files are corrupted. To be sure open each file at time. When opening WinRAR will tell you when you find an corrupted file. When you found it simply press ALT+R. ALR+R is WinRAR command to fixing corrupted archives. Also there is YODOT an simple tool for fixing corrupted .rar archives. YODOT can be found here YODOT WinRAR fixer.

That error happens because your ZIP file is corrupt. When an archive is damaged or corrupt, there is a very slim chance of fixing it if you are using WinRAR. WinRAR has a “Repair” feature that you can use to repair broken archives. The repair is not always a success but the hope is there on fixing the file.
If you have a broken archive, use the “Repair” tool in WinRAR to fix the archive. When repairing, make sure to select the correct archive format like if the corrupt archive is a ZIP file, select “ZIP” as the archive pattern or reference. See if this works.
If you managed to fix the ZIP file and unpack the files, make sure to check every file for correctness because, most of the time, the file you will be unpacking is still damaged.
