HUGE BUG in zip and UAC: copy a file from a zip

G

Guest

When you copy a file from a zip (integrated zip function) to any folder in
c:\program files\ in order to replace a file, the copy fails and the target
folder will be empty! You lose the files!

reproduction steps:
1. suppose in c:\program files\app1\ you have these 3 files:
file1.exe, file2.dll, file2.txt
2. suppose in your Documents folder you have a zip contains file1.exe
3. explorer the zip and copy file1.exe to c:\program files\app1\
4. give the UAC consent
.... but the copy will fail and the whole app1 folder will be empty. COPY IS
FAILED AND YOU LOSE OLD FILES.
