I am having trouble with .zip files created by copilot. The file name appears correct. However, I am getting an error message that says Error is not archive. I'm using Windows.

    I had the same issue with invalid zip files (despite Copilot promising me that they were fine) but I was able to get a valid tar file and extract the contents.

    Dear Fred, 

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.  

    Regarding your question about Copilot. For you to be assisted properly, please reach out to Questions - Microsoft Q&A; I am sure that the experts on this team can answer your question effectively and accurately. The reason I'm asking you to post a new thread is that in the Answers forum, we have limited resources and very few resources to test copilot and in Questions – Microsoft Q&A, you'll get the most qualified group of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction. 

    I also recommend adding the following tags to help you navigate to the relevant team more quickly: 

    Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Feel free to post your questions in the Microsoft community and we'll always do our best to help you!
