Zip created by winzipaes cannot be opened with older Winrar (3.60) #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
We use the winzipaes library to created a password protected RAR file,
which can be successfully opened with Winrar version 3.90. But it cannot by
opened with winrar 3.60. And unfortunately our client uses that old version
and cannot install the newer one (big company and IT restrictions....)

Any help is appreciated.

http://www.rarsoft.com/rarnew.htm says:
Version 3.80
2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.

So the only way to solve the issue would be to implement Winrar's encryption
mechanism - which is beyond the scope of this library. Maybe you could try a 
freeware
alternative, that also supports Winzip's AES format like http://www.izarc.org/
