Solved Error 0x80004005 while extracting zip file

[MirzaAsad]

I'm trying to extract a zip folder that contains only one .exe file.Actually,I downloaded this zip file from Esri Downloads.

When the file is completely downloaded and i tries to extract it using standard windows extractor I receive an error saying "Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error".
I've tried to extract it using winrar as well but again same error.
For better understanding I've attached two images.Please have a look at them and respond.

Thanks

Hello,

I researched the error code, and came up with this result:

1- go start->control panel->device manager open it
2- in view menu tick "view hidden devices"
3- open network adapters branch.
4- you will see many adapters named Microsoft 6to4. (i had over 150 number of them).
5- delete all.
6- restart your pc.

-From: Microsoft Answers - During unzip attempt

Please try this and post back results.

Thanks,

There is no delete option there.However,there two options uninstalling them or disable them.
I disabled all restarted my PC but no avail.
Any other solution?

 

[HonorGamer]

I'm afraid to say uninstall them because of them being network, but let me research this more.

Have you tried using 7-Zip?

 

[MirzaAsad]

I don't see how silverlight could be involved, but try updating to the latest version of silverlight: Get Silverlight | Microsoft Silverlight

 

[MirzaAsad]

ok i'll update but the problem is extracting a .zip file.Installation is the second step where updating silverlight can help.To add to this this is the only zip file that i've been unable extract.However, all other .zip & .rar are being extracted easily and successfully.

Then it is possible that this ZIP file is corrupt. Have you tried redownloading the ZIP file?

 

[MirzaAsad]

Yep i tried re-downloaded it several times but same problem.I even downloaded French version, German version instead English but ended up with same problem.So how all the files be corrupt that they have uploaded?
What you can do is download this Esri Global Account file for me and if the you have the same issue or not.

Well,i got it was IDM that was causing problem.I don't know for somw odd reasons i turned off IDM and used default windows downloader.When the zip file
completely downloaded.I extracted it without any error.

In short, it was IDM the main cause of this prblem

 

[HonorGamer]

Well now i know one way of solving the problem lol.

Well I'm glad you figured it out. If you have any other problems, you know where you can come!

I just had this issue on one of my clients computers.

Turns out it was corrupting the files upon download. It affecting any zip file that was downloaded to the computer. However, transferring a file from a thumb drive did not cause any issues.

The way we solved it was by running malwarebytes on it. We found 14 threats, mostly winsock. Once those were deleted and we rebooted the computer, everything worked perfectly.
