Hi,

I have seen this issue before, and it was an issue of the decompression of the 7zip archive. Please note that the archive is not .zip but .7z. They are not the same.

If you are in Linux O.S., then try installing a 7zip package (e.g. p7zip). If you are in MAC O.S., try using apps that can expand 7zip archives (e.g. Unarchiver). I cannot help you for Windows O.S.

Let me know if you were able to expand the archive.

Thank you too for letting us know.

I'm closing this issue, please feel free to create another one if something else comes up.
