Windows has built-in support for zip files. It can create, extract, browse through zip files which is a nice feature but this feature can also give you troubles in some situations.<\/p>\n

When you try to open a .zip file you’ve downloaded using Windows Explorer, you might receive the follow error:<\/p>\n

“Windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination file could not be created.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"error-open-zip\"<\/p>\n

By default, Windows will extract the files into the temp folder when you double-click on a .zip file to open it for viewing. This error means there is a problem with the permissions of the temp folder.<\/p>\n

Here is a workaround:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Move the .zip file into one of your user profile sub-folders, like Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on the .zip file and select “Extract All”. This allows you to decompress all of the files into a folder of your choice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Actually this problem has been faced by lots of Windows users. If you open the zip file with some third-party tools such as 7-zip<\/a> or WinRAR, every file could be opened without error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
