I'm new to Power Automate Desktop. I'm working with Compression - Unzip files but I've run into an issue. If the zip contains a file without an extension then the file isn't extracted. Is there any way to fix this? My guess is the Unzip action is assuming the file is a folder because it doesn't have an extension, but it isn't a folder so nothing happens. I don't get any errors either.
Example:
Zippy1.zip contains two files, "file1.txt" and "file2.". After running the Unzip action I get "file1.txt" and that's it. No "file2".
Yes I ended up using the Run DOS command action using 7-zip.
Another solution might be trying to do it through command prompt, it may act differently than the Unzip command in PAD.
I know this isn't the best answer, but if Unzip files is not working, could you get there as you would yourself?
Open Windows Explorer
Send Keys in the top address bar to navigate to the proper folder containing the zip file
Right click on the zip file
Left click on Extract Here, or whatever the proper button is.
I use 7zip, so I have done this before having to navigate the hard way, but it works.
