Hello, I am part of the team developing sector files for Norway. On our last release, people seemed to have problems unpacking the sectorfile, all the files unpacked are empty and shows as 0kb.

When unpacking it manually it works..

 

 

Used 7zip as usual to pack it. Cant seem to figure out what we did different this time

I know from some problems where the reason for problems in extracting data from the 7zip files was the precise data format. If you can manage, try to use a 7zip method to compress which is backward compatible with older formats. It seems ES is not capable to read the most recent formats.

Hi Daniel,

 

as Jonas suggests, the problem is most likely the compression method used. This thread may be about the same issue, and contains some information on how to fix it:
