Object FIX ZIP1.7 Build 27

Object FIX ZIP is a software application designed to extract files within corrupt ZIP archives, in order to recreate the original ZIP file in intact form. It can not only be used to repair archives, but also to test partially damaged or incompletely downloaded ZIPs.

Follow four steps in a wizard

It's packed in a user-friendly interface that consists of a four-step wizard, so all you have to do is follow the instructions in each stage and let Object FIX ZIP take care of the rest.The program's able to check the status of one or multiple ZIP archives at a time, including self-extracting archives (SFX executables). It doesn't matter whether or not the files in question are encrypted. If that's the case, then you simply need to enter the correct password to continue.

Test archive integrity, reconstruct the original ZIP, and extract files

In the second wizard step you can assign one or more tasks to Object FIX ZIP when it comes to testing the ZIP file's data integrity, creating a new and undamaged ZIP file wherever this is possible, and extracting the file contents from the broken archive.Furthermore, you can set the new ZIP file's name and saving directory, as well as indicate an output folder for saving extracted ZIP files (the name of the original ZIP archive can be given to this directory).Log details are shown during the recovery operation, and this task can be canceled if you change your mind. On completion, the tool displays the number of processed archives and extracted files, and it gives you the possibility to explore the repaired ZIP or extracted files, or to attempt to fix another file instead.

Evaluation and conclusion

The software utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages throughout our evaluation. We asked it to test and repair a corrupt ZIP archive, as well as to extract its files. It carried out this task swiftly and successfully on all three fronts. Therefore, Object FIX ZIP proved to be reliable at its job, so you can definitely give it a shot (even if it doesn't work, it shouldn't delete the original damaged ZIP archive).
