SecureZIP V12.4 includes support for creating and opening ZIP files using the PPMd compression algorithm. The current version of the PPMd algorithm does not support 64-bit versions of Windows, but you can run a 32-bit version of Windows Explorer to extract files compressed with this algorithm. To do this: 1. Go to Start > Run 2. Type C:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate in the box 3. Click OK. 4. Browse to the archive you want to extract. 5. Right-click on the archive, and choose SecureZIP > Extract… The file should extract normally.
