Yes, I was using client compression.

PKZip appears to work but it's the only ZIP program that works consistently.
Since PKZip is not free/OSS software, I was trying to avoid buying one or more
licenses just to be able to do Amanda restores.
By the way, I just discovered that running "zip -FFv" on the zip file in Unix
(i.e. the "fixfix" option) creates a new Zip file that is *somewhat* usable in
Linux. I still get a number of errors during the operation, eg:
zip warning: no end of stream entry found: Program Files
(x86)/VideoLAN/VLC/lua/http/images/vlc16x16.png
zip warning: rewinding and scanning for later entries
zip warning: unexpected signature 50 4b 07 08 on disk 0 at 5944574923
and:
Local ( 1 13290794279): copying: Windows/System32/zh-CN/sberes.dll.mui
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
..................... fcopy: write error
The new zip file can now be extracted with unzip but it still throws a number
of errors such as:
inflating: Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat
11.0/Acrobat/UICustomization/ENU/Custom04.aaui
error: invalid compressed data to inflate
So, it becomes more usable but not entirely so. I guess I have no alternative
but to use PKZip? Has anyone found a workaround?
