Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

2. right-click
3. select compress from context menu
4. set/confirm file extension is .zip
5. expand "Other Options"
6. enter a password
7. click Create
8. transfer to user with Windows 7 SP1 32-bit or 64-bit or Windows 8.1 64-bit
9. in Windows open zip file
10. attempt to open file in archive, error message Title:"Compressed (zipped) Folders Error", Text:"Windows cannot complete the extraction.\n\nThe destination file could not be created." is displayed

expected result
1. on Windows open zip file
2. attempt to open encrypted file
3. get prompt for password
4. enter password
5. file opens

compressed/encrypted with zip, named zip_success.zip.

Both zip files have the same text file for content, demo.txt
