"Winzip Self-Extractor header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer error.


Question

Recently after I installed win98, many problems happen. Most of them are happening on the setup files of many programs.

This is the most common error which i can get when i want to run many setup files downloaded from internet:

"Winzip Self-Extractor header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer error."

So, i tried to download a new version of winzip self-extractor, but the setup itself give me the same error msg.....

why????

Can I ask what hardware you setting this up on?  If it's old hardware then it's most likely down to the hardware failing.   If it's newer hardware then it could be driver issues.

Just from looking at the Winzip website:

System Requirements:

Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP

Windows 98 isn't listed as being supported. I'd be honestly surprised if any software offered to support Windows 98.

Most likely he's trying to setup an old rig using old software.

And here I thought the winXP holdouts were dumb, and you think you can still use Win 98? 

 

Some people do to run old games.

There's your problem. No software supports Windows 98 anymore. Why would you even want a computer running that version? If it's for old games, use DOSBox instead.

    • The usual, five and out. At least we have 3 more seasons to go 🖖  
    • I guess I'll stick with my 40mm Watch7 like I did with the previous one - 4 years. I like that the current one has a standard band attachment and not a proprietary one like Ultra.
    • Just finished using the new Rufus and reinstalling Windows 11 on this unsupported laptop. Awesome tool.
    • I've been pining for an Ultra, mainly because of the look. If I can get that look on a (much) cheaper model, then I'm in.
    • AMD 25.6.2 optional driver adds support for FBC: Firebreak, The Alters, and more FSR 4 games by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD has a new driver update for Radeon graphics hardware owners. The AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.2 optional driver update is touting support for a couple of brand-new games as well as expanded FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) support across four more titles. 11 bit studios' unique sci-fi adventure The Alters is releasing on June 13, while Remedy Entertainment's first multiplayer venture for co-op fans, FBC: Firebreak, is landing on June 17. Both titles receive day-one support via this optional driver for anyone looking to jump in. At the same time, The Alters, Delta Force, Dragonkin: The Banished, and RoadCraft have received FSR 4 support too, letting RX 9000 series owners enable the company's latest generation upscaler for gaining more frames. The complete list of games with FSR 4 support, as well as upcoming implementations, can be found on AMD's support page here. As for fixed issues, a green tint on Oculus Rift S, Discord stutters when alt-tabbing, Spider-Man 2 crashes when ray tracing is enabled, The Last of Us Part I crashes, and Warhammer 40K: Darktide performance issues have now been resolved, according to AMD. The known issues AMD's teams are working on are these: Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution enabled on Radeon RX 9070 XT. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution as a temporary workaround. Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon Graphics Products such as the Radeon RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon Graphics Products such as the Radeon RX 7000 series and Radeon RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower than expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. Intermittent application crash may be observed while playing FBC: Firebreak on some AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and some AMD Ryzen 7000 series APU products. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.2 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
