How to fix it

  1. 1

    Inspect the ZIP's top level for the exact filename; check for a nested folder or incorrect extension.

  2. 2

    Export the required file with its real records and place it at the archive root. If many core files are missing, fix the archive structure first.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
