unzip error 22: invalid argument

Same problem. Can you help me unzip this one? https://www.dropbox.com/s/owvvzu09cj87rnz/Caslau.zip?dl=0

Excellent, ditto did the job for me so I guess I don't have to bother with external disks and so on.

Thanks again for your effort MrHoffman, highly appreciated.

what´s going on here? I have the same problem.

I cannot unzip any zipped file.

So guys, any solution to this?

Am rn trying to unzip a large amount of files 23November 2019, OS Catalina.

Any solutions? Is Apple even aware of this?

Me too. I never had ANY zipped files, but when I 'upgraded' to catalina half of my files turned into zip docs that I CANNOT unzip, and when I click to unzip it duplicates itself!!! HELP!

I'm not really sure I know what to do? Pretend i'm a kindergartener and walk me through it?

Ok first of all...where is the command line? How/where do I type something in. This is what I see for example

Ok, meanwhile, i've downloaded 'unarchiver'

It brought up a window saying 'open these archive types with The Unarchiver'

Do I 'select all' or just leave the ones that they preselected?

Good question! I have NO IDEA how they are appearing!?!?!?

@Namronksly, I downloaded the 'unarchiver' and it's still not helping. When I click to open the file, the unarchiver (or previously windup) pops up for a moment and disappears. Not unzipping

Unable to unzip using the native zip utility. I'm attempting to unzip a file of text files. Never had this problem before Catalina.

I tried your method and it worked by using an App called Decompressor but not with the other such as Unarchiver. Thanks!

I get the error 22: invalid argument when trying to unpack zip files that I downloaded from an application called mediafire.

How do I find the plist for zip, and change it?

Okay, then this question is entirely unrelated to the rest of this thread.

Your Microsoft Office installation was Office 2011 or earlier, and all versions of Office prior to a middling-patched Office 2016 are so-called 32-bit apps, and are using older and now-deprecated interfaces, and are incompatible with Catalina.

You’ll need to purchase Office 2019, or acquire an Office 365 subscription, or use the free LibreOffice, and many Microsoft Office documents can be read and written using Apple iWork Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

You can find your existing and problematic 32-bit apps using a tool such as Go64. All of these existing 32-bit apps will have to be upgraded to more current and 64-bit apps, or replaced with different apps, or deprecated. Check with the developers of each of these various 32-bit apps for any available updates, upgrades, or alternatives.

Unzipping Office documents is not the path you want to be on.
