If you have had it with losing data to corrupted zip files and Self Extracting files [SFX], then this software might be for you. Advanced Zip Repair [AZR] is a powerful tool that helps you repair corrupted zip files and Self Extracting Files. It can scan the zip archives and recover your data in them as much as possible, to minimize the loss in file corruption. 

It’s attractive features include its ability to fix all sub-types of zip files and all kinds of self-extracting files and the fact that it supports the  repair of zip files on corrupted medias, such as floppy disks, zip disks, CDROMs etc. among others. 

To know whether AZR can repair your zip file successfully you’ll need to repair your zip archive normally in “Repair” tab. If it can be repaired successfully, you will see a message box after the repair process, where you can click the “Show Repair Report” button and see a report of all the recoverable items in the zip archive. For every item, the report will display its file name, file size, the packed size and its recoverable status.

The downside to this software is that though you can get the demo version for free there is a limitation; it will only show a report of all the recoverable items in the Zip archive, but will not output the fixed archive. To get the actual repaired Zip archive, you need to order the full version. Advanced Zip Repair has been recently updated and the updated version, Advanced Zip Repair 1.8 released.

The major changes in the new updated version:

• Improved the support to spanned/split zip files;
• Fixed some minor bugs
