Unzipping password protected Zip files issue

Some more testing : extraction using standard Windows only works if the zip is created using ZipCrypto encryption method.





If you chose AES-256 then while 7-zip will open it, Windows built in extractor fails with this error :





A bit of googling indicates WinRAR uses AES encryption so I'd suggest using 7-zip to compress/password protect your zip using the ZipCrypto encryption method.
