This is the error I get when I try to unzip from downloaded CS6 Design and Web Premium. file.  I downloaded right from Adobe (got a new computer, dont have discs).  Has anyone else seen this error?  If not, any idea what to do about it?

you should not manually unzip adobe installation files.

for windows, there are usually two files, one exe (the extractor) and one 7z (the archive).  put both the exe and the matching 7z in the same directory and click (or double click) the exe.

I needed to open the smaller file first.  Unfortunately, It installed both the 32b and 64b versions.  Quite a space hog.
