However as i try to extract the zip the 7-Zip (vers 9.20) says the Caret_Position_Source_Files.zip invalid ??!

What I have tried:

Opening the zip with 7-Zip... and I think actually this is the first time ever I've encountered problems extracting a zip file with that tool

I had no trouble downloading it and opening it with 7zip and Windows Explorer.

Since it's not otherwise noted in the question, my first suggestion would be to download the source, again, and see if that fixes the problem. More likely a problem, no?

ZIP formats have changed a lot in the last eight years - the latest one CP didn't support in article attachments for a couple of months. Given that V9.20 was released in 2010, I'd start with a more modern tool first! :laugh:

You should download and install the newest 7-zip software[^]. Current version is: 18.1, not 9.20.
