Emacs Zip File Crashing Vista Explorer

Hi!

I have a new computer with Windows Vista. I wanted to install Emacs from

http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.3-bin-i386.zip

and was surprised to find that trying to extract the files of this (rather
large) zip file reliably crashes Windows Explorer.

I tried to report the bug to Microsoft Support but unfortunately they won't
accept any bug reports because I have only an OEM license. (Or if they do
accept bug reports, I couldn't find out how to submit them). If it isn't
just my machine that's broken somehow, there could be a security hole...

Regards,
 
Is AVG on this system?
What's the crash data according to the Problem Reports and Solutions control
panel?

This is a German version of Vista, in case you're wondering ;-)

Regards,
 
Did you run the "Check for Solutions" option? Both of those are the same
bucket (223052456) and they're already mapped to a resolution. (Read:
uninstall what's causing this.) Does that resolution show up for you?

I'll give you a hint: it's not a coincidence that I guessed that AVG was on
the system. =)

Hmmm, I see. Strange, though, that the crash does not occur when I let
WinRAR unzip the file. Does Vista's unzip code somehow hook into AVG
whereas WinRAR's doesn't? Whatever. If the problem is that common, I
suppose AVG already knows about it. So I guess am going to keep AVG for
the time being :-)

Thank you for your help, anyway!

Regards,
 
Other way around - AVG might theoretically hook into Explorer. It might be
less interested in WinRAR. =)

I had problems extracting recursive xml source files from libxml2 version
2.7.2 with AVG Free Edition 8 on XP SP3. It said `avgrsx' process was using
100% CPU until I disabled Resident Shield. Then I was able to extract from
the .tar archive.
