Powershell - 从文件夹中的多个 zip 文件中仅提取一个 zip 文件

Question

I have a folder of many zip files and I would like to extract only one of them.

Let's say I only want to unzip test3.zip for example.

c:\docs

• test1.zip

• test2.zip

• test3.zip

• test4.zip

Code:

expand-archive -path 'c:\docs\test3.zip' -destinationpath 'test3_Folder'

This is creating me a folder, but not unzipping all the files. Why is this not extracting? What are some ways to extract one zip of many zip files? Also, how could you add a password if the zip requires it?

Thank you for your help

Expand-Archive is the correct command to expand a single zip archive. You are not doing anything wrong. The fact that the result does not contain the expected files may be due to a password protected zip file. Keep in mind that Expand-Archive does (currently) not support password protected zip files. It has even problems if filenames are not UTF-8 encoded.

You can use third party tools like the open source tool 7zip . It can also be used over the command line and it supports password protection as well as many different compression levels/methods.
