Xceed.Zip.InvalidDecryptionPasswordException:

#43972 |

Using Xceed.Zip version 6.0.16354.14180. Can’t unzip a zip file encrypted with pkAES-128 Deflate
7 Zip unzips this file with no problems.
QuickZip throws Xceed.Zip.InvalidDecryptionPasswordException:
ZipArchive.CopyFilesTo throw same and event handler coded to prompt for password. Password never accepted!
Anyone have a recommendation?

Hi

When you get the exception, please “drill down” the inner exception to get more information. Each System.Exception object contains an InnerException property. You can loop on each inner exception, taking note of each exception along the way until InnerException is null.

For example:

try
{
// TODO: Code that causes an exception
}
catch( Exception exception )
{
// Output some information about it
Console.WriteLine( “–>{0}: {1}\n{2}”, exception.GetType().Name, exception.Message, exception.StackTrace );

// Fetch the inner exception
exception = exception.InnerException;

// While there is an exception
while( exception != null )
{
// Output some information about it
Console.WriteLine( “–>Inner exception: {0}: {1}\n{2}”, exception.GetType().Name, exception.Message, exception.StackTrace );

// Fetch the inner exception
exception = exception.InnerException;
}
}

Please send us the log that this generates. Thank you.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the archive uses the “pkAES” method and it is not supported by Xceed components at this time. You will not be able to decrypt the data of this archive with Xceed Zip components.

“pkAES” refers to AES encryption as implemented by the PKWare company. They call it “strong emcryption”. It is a proprietary implementation and requires a license to use. Xceed supports the WinZipAES format for AES encryption, which is an open format and more widely used.

After checking, we see that PKWare does make some portions of their strong emcryption specification free to use without a license but it is not part of Xceed’s features right now. We will add this to the list of features to add in future releases.
