When trying to install my enterprise software, I receive a pop-up box stating “Certificate has Expired.” With the V14.2 release support for the older style conventional Windows interface has been discontinued.

Way 1: Set Password While Zipping A File

WinZip will prompt you for a password before encrypting all of the files in the Zip file. You may not be able to modify the encryption strength depending on the technique you employ. In the Enable protection box, you have to type the password and confirm this by re-entering the password and click on Next. Then you have to click on Specify Name and type the name you want for your zip file and where you have to select the new location of the file where you keep this. Firstly, you have to select all files you want under the zip file. However, AES is the most advanced and strongest type of encryption.

In both cases you can use WinRAR to compress files.

Right click on selected file or folder, then you get the pop-up menu, select “7-zip” and then select “Add to Archive” menu. If you get this error while you are trying to zip a file that is over 4 GB in size, you might want to check if the partition you are trying to perform the operation on is FAT32. The max file size for a Fat32 partition is 4 GB. Anything above this threshold, it will produce thecompressed folder is invalid error.
