The Tweak-XP ZIP file doctor

Windows XP comes with an included ZIP File feature, but it does not offer any function to check the integrity of a ZIP file, to recover files which are stored in a damaged ZIP file or to create a selfextracting executable.
Download and transfer errors can damage a .zip file - in most of all cases you will have to re-download the .zip file... This is history with Tweak-XPs ZIP File doctor: Apart from checking the integrity of any .zip file, it will repair dammaged .zip files, create selfextracting .exe files and reconvert selfextracting exe files back to .zip files!

Check the integrity and repair a .zip file:

If you want to check the integrity of a .zip file, please select the file you want Tweak-XP to check for errors by clicking the 'Folder button' inside the frame labeled with 'Specify the .zip file to check or to fix here'. Choose the file Tweak-XP should check and click the 'Check integrity of a .zip file' button. Tweak-XP will check the specified file.
To fix a damaged .zip file, specify its path and click the 'Fix a damaged .zip file' button. Tweak-XP will check the integrity of the specified file and - if it finds an error in the .zip file - repairs it.

Tweak-XP cannot recover all files inside a damaged .zip file,
but it will recover all files that were not damaged too much.

Create a selfextracting exe file - create a zip file from a selfextracting exe file:

This feature will convert a zip file into an executable that contains everything needed to extract itself to the current directory. This is a useful way to distribute zip files to end users, since they do not need to have an unzip utility like WinZip or PKUNZIP on their computer.

To convert a .zip file into a selfextracting .exe file, specify a .zip file you want to convert into a selfextracting file and click the 'Create a selfextracting file'.
Attention: your original .zip file will be converted to a selfextracting file - that means, that the zip file will be deleted when it was converted!

To convert a selfextracting .exe file into a .zip file, specify the selfextracting file and click the 'Create a .zip file from a selfextracting file' button.
Attention: your original .exe file will be converted to a .zip file - that means, that the exe file will be deleted when it was converted!
