@Vidhi_Patel - Looks like you already found the right activity to unzip the files. So not sure what exactly you are looking for? Did you face any issue while using that activity?

Also, please show us what you have tried so far?

Hi @Vidhi_Patel

For unzip activity there would be an option for destination location in the activity

Or there are is balareva activity for zip/unzip file activity

Hope it helps you

@Vidhi_Patel - Couple of things…

  1. Could you please put a message box/write Line/Log Message to print the values coming from ProjectFileName.
  2. For testing purposes, once the file downloaded take the full path and hardcode it in “File to Extract” to see if that is working…

This is what mine look like…You can see files got unzipped inside the “Extracted” folder as “Wishes” since I choose “Extract to Dedicated Folder”

Here in output i get name of these temporary file .tmp , but again error said that it’s can’t locate same file! Tmp is created during download activity.

@Vidhi_Patel - You see, that’s why you had problem with the zip file…

.tmp will be created along with your original file during the download and once the download is complete .tmp file will be removed.

So you should look for the .zip file downloaded from that folder and move the file to your project directory.

Hope this will solve your issue.

So how i can locate my downloded folder as source folder and then send it to project which is destination folder, i’m bit confused! maybe i don’t need assign activity.

@Vidhi_Patel,

Check the attached xaml. you may get some idea. I have not used any external packages.
