Character-set broken upon unzipping a file using VBO

[HongJooChoi]

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.
