a 'zip file' is not an application. You will need to use an unzip utility to unpack it.

Since Windows ME and newer versions of Windows it includes the ability to open and create .zip files. You can use this to unzip all files that have the .zip extension to it.

is there a way to show u a printscreen?

As soon as open the zip file a get a error saying; C:\user\bartman\desktop\JA156356444.zip is geen geldige toepassing. There is something wrong!

Before i unzip the file with winrar, but as soon as a download the file it changes and iam not able to open it and extraxt it and get the messege above.

You can post a screenshot (print screen) by simply uploading to your own server and provide a url. Or upload to one of the many free image hosts such as imgbb and again provide a url. I would also clear your cache first or use the likes of ccleaner to ensure your temp folder is clear.

At this time of the evening (night) Pablo will most likely have retired (went to bed) so it will be tomorrow before he will reply so check back then.

I do not think this is related to WWB. It looks like there is something wrong with the unzip functionality of your system.
Can you open other zip files?

If yes, then maybe the zip you have downloaded is corrupt? In that case re-download the file.
