Error Unzipping File

[thekian]

I have updated my new modpack up to 1.5.2 because all the mods were upgradable. After I had finished and requested the launcher to get the file everything seemed to have gone smoothly. When I clicked launch, it went through a few processes and then came up with the error.

Error unzipping file for the following pack: KianCraft

Error unzipping file: C:UserskianAppDataRoaming.KianCraftcachethekian-pack-beta-1.2(1.5.2).zip

No idea what could be wrong

You need to fix the link to your pack, it points to a website. You can see that yourself, rename the zip which TechnicLauncher downloaded to html, and open it with a browser.

[thekian]

I have sorted that out, it no longer points to a website when I change it to a html.

However, the error still occurs.

Also, the file on dropbox is a rar file, why is it a zip file when downloaded?

I'm having pretty much the same problem, but could someone please tell me how would I change the zip to an html?

Just rename it, delete the .zip part and replace it with .html.

Easy

i rename it but still doesnt work. i rename it in dropbox zip-html and it gives still the error. maybe i do it wrong? plz tell me

That's happening to me too. I tried other things than dropbox too, but still didn't work. Did the compressing go wrong? When I look into the /[modpack_name]/cache and try to open the [modpack_name_version].zip file, it says "Invalid zip file". But if I download the file from dropbox, its fine. Whats happening?

I have that same exact problem! Sigh tried for 2 hours to fix it nothing.....

well... this worked for me... checked out dropbox suggestions about direct linking. They suggest changing www to dl in the link and also adding ?dl=1 to the end of the link. for example, my modpack was giving the error too with: https://www.dropbox.com/s/emili3m2ium2b98/modpack.zip I changed that to https://dl.dropbox.com/s/emili3m2ium2b98/modpack.zip?dl=1 and it works!

People have been making this mistake with dropbox so often that I think we need a sticky thread about it...

How about Google Drive?

[plokami666]

I don't think GDrive will work. And worldtothend, I wasn't blaming you. I was just saying ^^

Platform needs a direct link to the zip, not a page containing the zip. 4share doesn't allow direct linking, so host the modpack on Dropbox or another site that does.

[plokami666]

4shared requires an account so I doubt it will work with the launcher.

Use a different service.

Edit: Oops, didn't see planetguy's reply.

i have done this and it said You must provide a valid link to your custom zip.
