Few times we get error messages like “Unsupported compression method” while trying to extract a zip archive. Unsupported compression method error does not mean that the zip archive must have been corrupted, it displays such error messages when the installed Winzip version does not support the zip archive. You may have to install the latest and updated version of Winzip or you may also extract files online.

If a Winzip archive has been compressed using the latest Winzip version, it might not support it’s archive extraction using old Winzip versions. WobZip is a free online service where you can extract or uncompress zip archives easily. You don’t even need to have Winzip installed on your system.
