If I create a zip file that contain zero size files,the Windows 10 Explorer build-in zip viewer can't uncompress it.

Couple questions: does anything else open it? Maybe Windows 10 just doesn't like zero byte files.

Can you show me your code?

[yinyue200]

@adamhathcock 7zip can open it.
sample code:https://github.com/yinyue200/sharpcompressdemo

Here is the error message.The screenshot is created by the Chinese version of Windows 10, but I hope it can be useful.

If you create a file like this with a zero byte entry in another application, can Windows 10 open that?

I'm saying it might be a failing (or security check) for Windows 10.

@adamhathcock I can create a zip file that contain zero size file by 7zip. And it can be opened by Windows 10. Here is the file.

@adamhathcock Sharpziplib can't open the file that created by sharpcompress and contain zero file too
I hope it can help you.

I think it's because the entry is still marked as compressed even though it's zero bytes. The 7Zip created file you gave has the entry marked as CompressionMethod = None.

I guess that's the difference. I don't want to make SharpCompress smart enough to recognize that. That's a user responsibility I think.

Found a bug while reviewing this though: #249
