Hello,
when using the unzip flow i'm getting the error Equity.zip' isn't a valid ZIP archive or a parameter isn't set
but the file is a zip file
First, the whole address is in the archive path field, correct? (Ex. C:\Documents\Equity.Zip)
If so, then my best recommendation would be to use command line. I found this:

What is running is the compact.exe built in by Windows. So make sure that you are navigating to the folder containing compact .exe before you run the command.
I had issue on power automate desktop
Anyways thanks for windows solution
Right, that's what I was referring to. In the Unzip Files command, Archive Path is the first field:
This needs to have the whole path, not just Equity.zip. If you have the whole path, then I would try using PAD to run the CMD command.
Hi,
I zipped the file using PAD with password. And tried to unzip it and then i faced the same error "test.zip isn't a valid ZIP archive or a parameter isn't set". I tried multiple times to unzip it but it did not work. After some time i unzipped the file manually and got message "This file is encrypted with a different password". Please refer the screenshot.
So based on my observations there are three possible reasons why you are getting the error:
Hope this will help you to resolve your query..
