Unzip.vi only works with 1-internal file, error2 with multiple even in raw form.

[Rob_Calhoun]

I am wondering if there is any status update on this bug yet. To recap, the LabView 8.5 unzip function is broken under Windows, returning error 2 ("System Exec.vi: Command was "touch 01162006102008 "myuncompressedfile.txt"") after the first file extracted.

LabView's unzip function is basically worthless until this is addressed, so this seems like a fairly serious issue.

I know the software release process is a long one, but would it be possible to either provide a corrected version of the VI here or release the diagram password so that the code could be corrected in the meantime? The error is likely a very simple one. (The unzip process itself is probably fine, but after unzipping the file it tries to update the file's timestamp using a command (touch) that isn't legal under cmd.exe.)
