Weird Zip Problem

[bitsnpcs]

Hello,

have you tried -

1/ making a new folder and naming it,  GG1T-14D544-AB (same as the windows image posted)
2/ making a new folder inside #1 folder, and naming it, SyncMyRide
2/ extracting all files and folders with SynchMYRide in their name into the SynchMyRide folder
3/ extracting the autoinstall.lst and install.lst into the folder named GG1T-14D544-AB

This would produce the exact same results and layout as the files and folders shown in the pic of how it is in windows.

4/ copy the entire folder named GG1T-14D544-AB to the usb stick.

bitsnpcs's suggestion might work IF only the path/filename is screwed up for any reason but not the content.
Definitely worth giving it a try to manually create the folder structure and rename the files accordingly.

Regarding the GUI for p7zip:

• In general I avoid installing software outside the repositories for security and stability reasons.
  
• If you still are inclined to give it a go, it's worth first checking the validity of the first comment pointing out that the library libwxgtk3.0-dev is not anymore supported on v16.x and above.
  

Hope that helps

In cooperation with TuxInAGalaxy who did all the testing, here is the solution. Instead of using the the GUI tools xarchiver or file-roller, the CLI tool unzip seems to do the trick:

Code:

unzip GG1T-14D544-AB.zip -d GG1T_unzipped

A folder GG1T_unzipped will be created with all the files unpacked as it should be, i.e. including the necessary sub-folder.

Unzip is also spelling out the reason why it's actually failing with the other tools:

Code:

warning:  GG1T-14D544-AB.zip appears to use backslashes as path separators

But it's obviously smart enough to overcome this Windows syntax quirk.

It does seem to work but I haven't been able to do an official test with the sync on my car.  When or if a new version of firmware gets released for it I will report if it works or not.

It was suggested that I tag this thread as solved.  I've looked around the site and I'm not finding how to do that.
