[Strike-Force.ne]

Unable to open zip file due to prohibited error.

I'm interested in this, let us know when the issue is resolved with the zip file.

[akanevsky]

I don't think there's any issue with the zip file... It opens up fine for me. Try opening it using winrar or winzip or 7-zip.

[Strike-Force.ne]

I'll try again today.

I use a Mac, so it may be that for some reason the manner it was zipped isn't compatible with it. I'll try from work and then forward it to myself if I have to, and thanks for the response.

Update on this: For some reason it extracts fine on a Windows OS, but gets the error on a Mac with OS X
