Forgive me for jumping in. Self-extracting ZIP files are generally
unzippable using standard unzip; it recognizes the prepended unzip
program and skips over it.
I tried that, but my (somethat elder version of) WinZip said it is
not a ZIP file.
Interesting! I've not seen or used WinZip, but standard unzip has
handled them for many years.
Today, I downloaded the ISO file, which in fact is a ZIP file
containing the ISO image. (Luckily this is not also a self-extracting
archive). WinZip unzipped the ZIP, gave me an ISO file, which WinZip
again unzipped into the desired folder structure. Voila ;-)
A circuitous workaround, but hey, it gets the job done. :-)
