I don't yet know if it will work, but I am going to re-zip everything using the betterzip program mentioned above. It has an option that:

"Strip Mac specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux."

Just my two cents. - Ryan Nagy]]> E-junkie Discussions; ryannagy http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 04:50:09 GMT E-junkie Discussions; SeanMc http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Sat, 6 Feb 2010 23:51:04 GMT
No this isn't any of the cases listed above. I have the same problem... but it only happens to a few customers either with XP or Vista.

They are prompted for a password to open a regular .zip file. Usually, the files isn't blocked either- it's strange. I have had to email them the unzipped files, or they have had to download them to different computer and transfer them over.

I wish there was an answer, because this is so annoying. I"m sure if we sent you (Ejunkie) the files, you'd have no problem. It's intermittent and I"m sure not E-junkie's fault. Annoying just the same though. :)]]> E-junkie Discussions; shana http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Tue, 3 Feb 2009 23:04:00 GMT
It's meant to protect computers from neophytes and teens/children installing the latest 3,000 trojans and virii onto your computer, but it is way over-implemented.

From Windows help:
User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows that can help prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. UAC does this by asking you for permission or an administrator‌ password before performing actions that could potentially affect your computer's operation or that change settings that affect other users. When you see a UAC message, read it carefully, and then make sure the name of the action or program that's about to start is one that you intended to start.

By verifying these actions before they start, UAC can help prevent malicious software (malware) and spyware from installing or making changes to your computer without permission.

When your permission or password is needed to complete a task, UAC will alert you with one of the following messages:

Windows needs your permission to continue
A Windows function or program that can affect other users of this computer needs your permission to start. Check the name of the action to ensure that it's a function or program you want to run.

A program needs your permission to continue
A program that's not part of Windows needs your permission to start. It has a valid digital signature indicating its name and its publisher, which helps to ensure that the program is what it claims to be. Make sure that this is a program that you intended to run.

An unidentified program wants access to your computer
An unidentified program is one that doesn't have a valid digital signature from its publisher to ensure that the program is what it claims to be. This doesn't necessarily indicate danger, as many older, legitimate programs lack signatures. However, you should use extra caution and only allow this program to run if you obtained it from a trusted source, such as the original CD or a publisher's website.

This program has been blocked
etc., etc.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Dex http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:19:43 GMT
You can go into your Seller Admin > "Send free download link" and send a free link to our support email address listed here:
https://www.e-junkie.com/ej/contact.php

Then we can download the file and see if we get any security warnings or password prompts.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:36:05 GMT E-junkie Discussions; nardiphoto http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:59:20 GMT
Windows may warn users that opening unknown .exe files (programs) could potentially cause problems if you don't know exactly what that "mystery program" is. This is how software gets installed, whether it's legitimate software or a freestanding program, or even viruses, spyware, adware, etc. -- the warning is giving users a chance to ask themselves, "Do I really know what this is, and do I really want to run it?"

Some computer owners may have extra security software installed or settings that may require a password to open any unfamiliar .exe file for the first time, to prevent children and other naive users from carelessly running any .exe file they happen to download and thereby maybe running the risk of accidentally installing viruses and other nastyware.

You can bypass all of these issues by offering only regular .zip files, not "self-extracting" zips, and instructing buyers to use a separate program like 7zip, IZArc, WinRar, etc. to unzip it.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:32:36 GMT
If you want us to verify that, please upload the file on your website and send us a link to that so we can download it and test the file.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieChef http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:35:56 GMT
"The same thing happened again, but I saw that it was a security issue with Windows XP. It wasn't allowing me to download anything that was a "risk". I had to unclick "block" under the file properties if I wanted to download. But even with that it didn't work. So I used another unzip program: WinRar and it worked fine"]]> E-junkie Discussions; nardiphoto http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:03:28 GMT E-junkie Discussions; nardiphoto http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Fri, 2 Nov 2007 20:44:04 GMT E-junkie Discussions; Shivani http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/429/pg/0#post14711 Fri, 2 Nov 2007 20:43:48 GMT E-junkie Discussions; guest_user
