ZIP /U a little screwy

[vefatica]

In addition to what's below, Explorer shows the zipfile with 4tray64.dll having an older time and trying to drag it out of the Explorer window (say to the desktop) results in an error, 0x80004005 (unspecified).

l:\projects\4tray\release> dir /km 4tray.dll

And even after making a new (seemingly working) zipfile from scratch, ZIP /C screws up.

What do you think /C is going to do?

If you're trying to display the filenames, you should be using /V. /C dumps the physical contents of the zip file, not the names. (And with binary files, that'll be terminated at the first null character in the file.)

My mistake (for confusing "contents" with a listing). But my original report about ZIP /U still seems in order.

l:\projects\4tray\release> zip /v 4tray.zip

2012-11-04  13:26         46,080  53%  4Tray64.dll

l:\projects\4tray\release>

Note how the archive's timestamp for 4tray64.dll was not updated. Also at this point, 4tray64.dll cannot be extracted with Explorer (error as described in my original post).

Not reproducible in 14.02.44.

With build 44:

l:\projects\4tray\release> del 4tray.zip
Deleting L:\Projects\4Tray\release\4tray.zip
    1 file deleted            20,480 bytes freed
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> zip 4tray.zip 4Tray.dll ..\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
<= L:\Projects\4Tray\release\4Tray.dll
<= L:\Projects\4Tray\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> shellex 4tray.zip

At this point, in Explorer, I can drag either file out of the zip folder.

l:\projects\4tray\release> touch ..\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
2012-11-05 23:10:58.201  L:\Projects\4Tray\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> zip /u 4tray.zip 4Tray.dll ..\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
 
<= L:\Projects\4Tray\x64\Release\4Tray64.dll
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> shellex 4tray.zip
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> ver

2012-11-05  23:05        46,080  53%  4Tray64.dll
 
l:\projects\4tray\release>

At this point I cannot drag 4tray64.dll out of the zip-folder. And it's timestamp (23:10, from TOUCH) was not changed in the zip file. The error message box says "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. [...] Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error [...]".

And after all that (previous post), TCC itself says:

l:\projects\4tray\release> copy 4tray.zip v:\
L:\Projects\4Tray\release\4tray.zip => V:\4tray.zip
    1 file copied
 
l:\projects\4tray\release> v:\

unzip is an internal command
 
v:\> unzip 4tray.zip
=> V:\4Tray.dll
TCC: Error in archive V:\4tray.zip :

v:\>

Here's a simpler version, on another machine (with build 44). It doesn't seem to like the combination of "/U" and "..\...".

v:\test> zip ttt.zip ..\tictactoe.exe
<= V:\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> unzip ttt.zip
=> V:\test\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> del tictactoe.exe
Deleting V:\test\tictactoe.exe
    1 file deleted              8,192 bytes freed
 
v:\test> touch ..\tictactoe.exe
11/05/2012 23:47:54.013  V:\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> zip /u ttt.zip ..\tictactoe.exe
<= V:\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> unzip ttt.zip
TCC: Error in archive V:\test\ttt.zip :
  Wrong local header signature. "tictactoe.exe"
 
v:\test>

 

[vefatica]

Actually, it doesn't have anything to do with the "..".

v:\test> zip ttt.zip v:\tictactoe.exe
<= V:\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> unzip ttt.zip
=> V:\test\tictactoe.exe
 
v:\test> del tictactoe.exe
Deleting V:\test\tictactoe.exe
    1 file deleted              8,192 bytes freed

v:\test> zip /u ttt.zip v:\tictactoe.exe

v:\test> unzip ttt.zip

It took several tries on a couple of different machines, but I was eventually able to (sporadically) reproduce this. It's a problem in the zip dll; I've notified the developers.
