Error when trying to unzip FILE

blazino17 — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:02:34 GMT

Hi Devs, Please What other methods can I use in Blue Prism to unzip a file that throws an error for a specific ZIP file using the VBO 'Extraction of Zipped File'? This is the error I’m getting: 'Extracting Zip entry would have resulted in a file outside the specified destination directory.' Other ZIP files are working fine."
