Fixing it would probably be very simple, if we knew what was wrong.
Probably there is something in the file header that Fossil generates that
WinXP Explorer does not like or is misinterpreting.  But what exactly is
that something?  Can you do some detective work to try to figure out what
it is about Fossil-generated ZIP archives that WinXP explorer does not
like?  (I don't have a copy of WinXP to experiment with.)
