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

[Digital_WorkerB]

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?
