iMac G5 ALS running Mac OS 10.5.8
I double click on a zip file to open it, see the thermometer progress bar but it ends with the following Archive Utility error message: "Unable to unarchive (name of application) into "(name of location)". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)" I AM the administrator and the file is set to "Read and Write". What is going on here? Will I have to enable "root" to open the file?
Is there enough Free space on the Drive for it?
Does the Folder it's in have Write Permissions?
Might try The Unarchiver 2.6...

Yes (as long as the application is less than 154 GB)
Yes (~/Desktop)
Your link took me to version 3.9.1 but I was able to find version 3.5.1; apparently the last version to run on PPC. It opened the file but said there was a problem with the contents of the zip file, which is better info then I had previously. Looks like I'll have to re-download the file and hope IT isn't corrupted also.
OK, I download a fresh copy of the file, but The Unarchiver crashed trying to open it. I then successfully opened it with the Archive Utility built-in to Mac OS 10.5.8.
Well, good work, have never had the Unarchiver crash before!
Unable to open zip file
