The zip on the releases page isn't actually a zip. I could get it extracted with 7z but Windows complained.

Hi, thanks for submitting this issue!

So I think I know what's going on here. I have a script that makes releases for me (puts all source files etc. into an archive which I can then drag-and-drop onto the release draft page) and it uses 7-zip to do this. I think what's happening is that 7-zip is making a ".7z" archive but then I give it a ".zip" extension instead.

I'm not 100% sure how to combat that (.zip would be most ideal I think) because last I checked there wasn't that many 7-zip command line arguments that were relevant to me, but I'll have another look and see what I can find.

In the mean time I'm afraid you'll be having to unzip via 7-zip or WinRAR. Apologies.

So I went back through the release script and my batch writing skills have come on a bit since I initially wrote that. =)

I've been able to reproduce your problem and I've attached a release .zip that was created through my updated release script. It works for me, would you be able to confirm/deny for me please?

Yep it works beautifully now. Thanks for making the library

dangmoody commented 3 years ago

You're very welcome. =)

Thanks for finding this, I've used 7-zip exclusively for the last 10 years so there was no way I would've found this.

I'll update the 1.1 release zip with the fixed archive and then close this.
