End of Central Directory record could not be found

Question

I am downloading a zip file using c# program and I get the error

at System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive.ReadEndOfCentralDirectory()
   at System.IO.Compression         


        

Answer 1

Might be useful to someone else. I dealt with this by adding an exception to my code, which then:

1. Creates a temporary directory
2. Extracts the zip archive (normally works)
3. Renames the original ziparchive to *.bak
4. Zips and replaces the original archive file with one that works
