Character-set broken upon unzipping a file using VBO

HongJooChoi — Tue, 12 Jul 2022 07:01:00 GMT

Hi, all.

We're using "Utility - Windows Compressed File" VBO for unzip a compress file.
The result is as below:

Any one knows how to prevent the character from being broken?
Or Is there any other VBO or ways working without a concern for the character-set?

Best regards

Hi @HongJooChoi

I face this problem before... also in spanish we have special characters that broke when you try to compress.

The problem here is with the internal library that use this VBO (The System.IO.Compression one)

You have many ways to solve this. But the better in BP is using a simple code in Power Shell to compress the file.

As you can see here, I have several special characters in this paths:

The command in power shell, looks like this:

Compress-Archive -LiteralPath "C:\Blue Prism" -DestinationPath "C:\Blue Prism\file.zip"

Here is the result:

Hope this helps you!

See you in the Community, bye 🙂

@HongJooChoi, @PabloSarabia,

There is an open ticket with Microsoft regarding incorrect handling of locale in System.IO.Compression. You can review it at the link below.
