The archive manager does not archive files and gives an error message during the archive.

Archive: /home/roland/Downloads/InstallWoW.exe
[/home/roland/Downloads/InstallWoW.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/roland/Downloads/InstallWoW.exe or
/home/roland/Downloads/InstallWoW.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/roland/Downloads/InstallWoW.exe.ZIP, period.
