Quick answer
Extract the archive to a normal folder before working with its contents. Opening one file inside a ZIP can be misleading when it depends on neighbouring files.
Understand the issue
Keep the original archive while you test the extracted copy. Choose a short destination with enough free space and note any extraction error. Do not run unknown executable files merely because they came in a compressed folder.
Step-by-step checks
- Select the archive extraction option.
- Choose a normal working folder.
- Verify the extracted files before deleting the ZIP.
