Hi , I have created an action to unzip .zip file . But if i use the same for .zipx file ,its failing (ofcourse it fails as compression format is different). Have anyone tried unzipping .zipx file using code stage or anyother actions?. Thanks, Amith

Hi Amith, I know this isn't the answer to your question, but have you considered reaching out to whomever is zipping the files?

Try extracting it with 7zip command line (https://www.7-zip.org/history.txt): - 7-Zip now can extract .zipx (WinZip) archives that use xz compression. You might be able to use 7zip dll in code stage if it works at all.
