Topic: Cannot Expand Downloaded Package

danisrael80 pro asked 6 years ago


I just bought the Pro Package and have downloaded the Zipped file. However I am unable to expand the Zipped file and I get the error "unable to expand MDB-Pro.zip" Operation not permitted. Please how do i get the file extracted.

Hi, I think it's issue that has to do with working with a MAC computer. I have been able to resolve it using the terminal window to extract the file. For anyone facing this issue just go to your terminal and create a new folder you want the expanded file to be. Use the command unzip /path to MDB Pro and contents would be expanded into your created folder

same issue here. Extracting using terminal worked but when I try to access the contents I get Permission denied error

Hi Visesh, I also had the same problem. I was able to open the folders by right clicking on the folders checking the info and changing the permissions from custom to read and write. Had to do it manually for every folder because for some reasons using chmod -R in terminal did not change all the permissions for all of the folders. So far I can see the contents of all the folders and I can't see anything wrong. Have been busy today but intend to try it out tomorrow.

Same issue. Fix by extracting using terminal. Make sure you do this into it's own folder. Then fix permissions issue by running these commands: To change all the directories to 755 (drwxr-xr-x): find /full/path/to/folder/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ; To change all the files to 644 (-rw-r--r--): find /full/path/to/folder/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;

Hi I tried To change all the directories to 755 (drwxr-xr-x): using find /full/path/to/folder/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ; on my MAC but it didn't work. However I was able to extract the file with terminal and change permissions recursively using chmod 777 -R /path-to-file (drwxr-xr-x) or chmod 644 - R /path-to-file (-rw-r–r–)


The issue has been fixed. Please redownload your pacakges

I was able to unzip the folder and change permissions by using the MAC terminal window. Make sure you create a new folder and extract the MDB-pro file into that folder. You still will not have permissions to view the files because it has custom permissions but you can fix the permission issues by using chmod 777 -R /path-to-file (drwxr-xr-x) or chmod 644 – R /path-to-file (-rw-r–r–)
