Two things:
1) This has nothing to do with game programming ->GDLounge
2) Your zip file is currupt, probably because the download stopped before it had the whole file. Download the file again, using a download manager (like NetVampire) preferable to ensure you get the whole thing.

[EDIT] A third possibility is that you don't have a zip file at all, just a file renamed to .zip (some free host sites use this to allow them to store filetype their not suppose to, like mp3 or avi)

Your file is corrupted. Just download it again, it should work unless the file you are downloading is... bad.

Well, yes, that third possibility exists. It never occurred to me before, though.

There was once a dog that was so, but sooo stupid that when someone said "attack!" it fell to the floor with convulsions.

No, really, I'm working on my sig.

"Beware", said I.

There''s also a program called PKZIPFIX... I don''t know what it does, but it''s supposed to fix certain messed up zip files... I think it''s old though... And it can''t magically restore corrupt data, but it might let you salvage any good data in the zip-file
