File association issues and a misleading error message

[Peter Swinkels]

Hello,

 

I am not sure whether or not someone has reported this already, but: there appears to be a bug with WinCDEmu’s file associations. After installing it I can’t open *.zip files with WinZip, even if I explicitly tell Windows to use WinZip. This forces me to first start WinZip and then open the .zip file. Each time you try to open a zip file you get a misleading error message about the *.zip file being corrupt. To anyone else experiencing this issue: you need to uninstall WinCDEmu and then do a repair installation for WinZip. I hope the developers will fix these issues soon because except for these rather annoying bugs WinCDEmu is a useful tool.

yours,

Peter Swinkels
