    <p>I've made an application that takes tagged versions of a project from an hg repository and creates a downloadable ZIP file of that the tagged revision.</p> <p>The files are created on a MediaTemple server running Linux using CodeIgniter's ZIP Encoding Library. Everything works fine... on a Mac. But, when I download the files on a Windows computer, the archive is blocked from being extracted.</p> <p>The ZIP contains <code>.html</code>, <code>.css</code>, <code>.gif</code>, <code>.png</code> and <code>.js</code> files, and I am pretty sure the <code>.js</code> files are the security culprit, but I am wondering why I can download the <a href="http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop_Download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jcrop jQuery plugin</a> (or any other examples) as a ZIP file and extract it without Windows ever interfering, even though it obviously contains <code>.js</code> files, but something about my ZIP file is posing a security risk.</p> <p>Normally I would just find a quick software workaround for my particular situation, but since the plan is to sell access to these files, a quick software fix or an FAQ doesn't seem very user-friendly.</p> <p>Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need more info.</p> <p>You can download an example file <a href="http://manasto.info/so/download.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <ul> <li>I am running Windows XP</li> <li>I am not running anti-virus</li> <li>The warning is: <strong>Windows has blocked access to these files to help protect your computer</strong></li> <li>I've unblocked the file but that does nothing</li> <li>The file is on my desktop</li> </ul> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong></p> <ul> <li>I added an example file at the bottom. Or you can see it <a href="http://manasto.info/so/download.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></li> <li>I have only used default extraction tools on XP and Windows 7.</li> <li>The ZIP appears to be empty on Windows and I can't see or open any of the files. </li> </ul> <p><strong>EDIT 3:</strong></p> <ul> <li>From the comments and answers, it appears that the file names were the problem due to an extra <code>/</code> being added somewhere in the process. I've uploaded an <a href="http://manasto.info/so/fixed.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">new example download</a> generated by my app with the file name fix, which you can download <a href="http://manasto.info/so/fixed.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. Please let me know if that fixes the problem.</li> </ul>

    1. COYou may need to right click the Zip File go to Properties and choose "Unblock." Depending on download/security settings on the machine, some downloaded files are "blocked" by default.

    2. COCan you upload an example zip file? Or tell us in what way they get blocked (anti-virus software such as Avast?)

    3. COI've done the 'Unblock' thing, but that doesn't matter. Windows just keeps telling me it's blocked. Also... I am not running any anti-virus software that doesn't come with Windows XP.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
