Update or Fix tells me 'No Zip File specified. How can I fix this problem?FAQ #018

This happens if you have ZipMagic from Aladdin Systems (to my knowledge it came from Ontrack before) installed. ZipMagic displays all zip files as folders, and even denies other applications access to the real zip file.


To allow another application direct access to zip files, ZipMagic has a setting somewhere on its Options page. You need to add SpybotSD.exe there.
(Sorry, Aladdin Systems was quite arrogant when I asked them about this and didn't provide me with more detailed information, otherwise I would post more detailed instructions here.)

Update: a kind user did send us instructions on how to set ZipMagic to ignore Spybot-S&D, thus allowing Spybot-S&D to work again: Open the ZipMagic properties, and click on the icon Applications at the left. Check the option These applications see Zip files as files, and press the Add... button. Select the SpybotSD executable in the dialog appearing (usually C:\Program files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe). This will tell ZipMagic to allow Spybot-S&D access to zip files again.
