Cannot Unzip File: Could not execute code stage The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Digital_WorkerB — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 14:35:00 GMT

After the robot downloaded a zip file, the object for unzipping threw an error : 'Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.' This object uses 'System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory([ZipFile], [ZipFilePath])' code.

Thing is, it's all under 1 process. Is there a way to force the process/object to bypass this error?

Hi,

Can you provide some more details of the process flow with the explanation of your logic being used?

Is the zip file downloaded from HTTP or FTP site using the browser?
What's the zip file format?
Which tool is used to unzip the file manually?
Do you use Utility - Environment VBO to unzip the file?
Is the unzipped file saved under the local folder or a shared network folder?
During the error, is the file unzipped completely or failed to unzip?
