SYMPTOM:

When you download a Zip (.zip) file in Microsoft Internet Explorer,
you may experience either of the following behaviors:

- The file appears to download, but the file compression program that
you use (for example, WinZip) opens and displays a blank window.

-or-

- If you are running Microsoft Windows XP, and you use the Compressed
(zipped) Folders feature as your file compression program, you receive
the following error message:

The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted.

CAUSE:

This behavior can occur if you click a hyperlink on a Web page to
download a .zip file in either of the following scenarios:

- Case 1: You are using Microsoft Windows XP, and the Confirm open
after download check box is not selected.

- Case 2: The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to which the hyperlink
points uses an Active Server Pages (ASP) or Common Gateway Interface
(CGI) file.

-and-

You click Open or Open this file from its current location in the File
Download dialog box.

Under these circumstances, Internet Explorer does not correctly save
the file to the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard disk
after it is downloaded. As a result, you experience either of the
behaviors described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
