Could not open ZIP_local file. Налаштування

[La frite]

Hi, I got this error on my computer:
Could not open ZIP_local file.

http://dg.imp.kiev.ua/slinca/result.php?resultid=209718

Thanks

[Ralfy]

Have tried again, but still failing on Windows XP 32 bit, lost around 50 hours of processing.

Same "Could not open ZIP file"

Did not mention this before but it appears that the application processes fine up to the point of returning the result.

Then it has trouble and generates errors with the "parse_init_data_file"

Such errors are "Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: userid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: teamid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: hostid"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: result_name"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: start_elapsed_time"
"Unrecognised XML in parse_init_data_file: computation_deadline"

So is there more than just an issue with the ZIP file but with another file as well?

Thanks

Conan

Same issue here on all attached boxes. (W7, 2008, XP, 32 or 64 Bit)

The windows application should be depreciated (removed) until this is fixed. Wasting unsuspecting volunteers time and resources is not acceptable.

Ok, i have written email to Yuri, hope he will read it.

Did Yuri use a compiler to look for read-only memory locations?

Linux
SIGSEGV: segmentation violation

Changed Security permissions of the Boinc directory and had a task validate.
Probably specific to Dotsch, though I've seen similar issues with Kubuntu at other projects.

I expect that this security requirement is the same with Windows; your account needs to be able to read, write, change and create folders and files.
Maybe in Win installing Boinc and not selecting all users or daemon/service install, then taking ownership of the Boinc directories would do the trick.

I have completed my first WUs of the project and had this error. I do not plan to do anymore at this time.

OS = Vista 32

On the point about ownership and permissions I do understand that sometimes you need to change permissions to allow you same permissions as System but I do not think this is the case here. There must be another issue.

I am a member of over 50 projects and this is the only one that fails in this way.

So I read an earlier post where the project say they check on failed WUs and will give credit if they have failed in the way described through this Topic.

I will wait to see if I receive any credit it will to me be an indication that what is going on is at least being monitored by project staff and then I will start to check in with the Forum again to follow the progress for resolving this problem.

Regards,

[Patrick Harnett*]

I thought I would have another go at this project. All WUs failed after varying times and wasted a bit over 100 hours of CPU.

darek, conan, bellumm, La frite, Tamagoch, re_SET, x3mEn - дуже дякую за наполегливість!

то була б зовсім інша справа.
Всеодно дякуємо за підтримку і намагання допомогти нам

Шановний x3mEn вже в цьому списку.
Успіхів!

darek, conan, bellumm, La frite, Tamagoch, re_SET, x3mEn - thank you very much for your persistence!

Currently I am very busy and can not devote enough attention to this problem.
Actually - all tasks work well on my PCs are
and (abd it is somewhat sadly) I do not have any other version to address the problem on other Windows-machines.

If the tasks were not working (ie if no archive "for the task are everywhere) on x3mEn's Windows-machines,
it would have been quite different.

Anyway we thank all of you for your support and efforts to help us
By the way, we try to recalculate (about once a week) DOUBLE credits for finished and invalid tasks
+
we will try to award special (pleasant) surprises for those
who will manage to solve this problem and teach others.
Dear x3mEn already in this list.

Good luck!

Just wondering if you are still honouring the above, where you say that you try to recalculate (about once a week) DOUBLE credits for finished and invalid tasks ????

I have not seen any credits given for all my Windows failed work units, ever, dispite a lot of hours processing. They process correctly up to the point of being sent back to the project and can't be zipped correctly, so do I still get credit for this as you say ???

I have today also added another Zip programme to my Windows computers to see if the zipping will work, just waiting for a WU to finish.

All projects rely on the good will of individuals to offer their computing resources for these distributed computing projects.

When it seems like there is no interest from project staff to address project problems or our concerns then perhaps there should be no interest from us in the crunching community to support your project.

archeye*, Conan, Patrick Harnett*, skgiven, zombie67,

I have written an email to Yuriy but he seems not replying

I will try to contact him by phone or somehow else

Thank you for your support!

This is actually the only one "active" DC project from our country, but in Ukraine scientists do not get grants so everything is done on enthusiasm. Probably Yuriy is busy with other scientific things at this moment ...

[Patrick Harnett*]

I must be a sucker for punishment - testing one more WU on each of seven different machines to see if they all error or if one works. If so, then I can try to work out what is different.

Hi, I got this error on my computer:
Could not open ZIP_local file.

http://dg.imp.kiev.ua/slinca/result.php?resultid=209718

Thanks

The same here. I decided to change the extention of the file out_data.zip to out_data.txt and was able to open that with wordpad!
It contained just a sentence, not a file as it should. The zip file is not a valid zip file, no zip-er can open a txt file.
I made a new out_data.zip, containg the out_dat.txt but after 28 hours was rewarded with a computation error.
The faulty zip had been re-created and could not be opened (of course)

Just adding that the last time the recalculation was done and double credits given was in MAY 2011, almost 2 YEARS ago.
I think honouring that promise (from may 2011) will go along way in keeping crunchers at this project.
The work units are not faulty, they just don't get zipped correctly before being sent back.

Thanks

Windows cranch - don't happy for me.

[Conan]

Thanks to the work of fellow volunteer Ananas, we now have a work around solution for the people who can't get Windows work units to complete successfully with the "Can't open Zip Local File" error.

Using any compiled zip.exe from the InfoZip package into a folder and extract it (the Win binaries package).
Copy the extracted zip.exe file to the WINDOWS folder/directory. This adds the zip fuction to the computers PATH statement, as Windows already is in the PATH you don't have to do anything else. No reboot required.
That is all there is to it.

Ananas has had heaps of successful work units and now I have my first successful work units credited with points since May 2011.

(You could probably use any zip executable but this one we know works.)

(Still no word on the recalculated points for past Windows work units)
