Hi,

please post output of

# file

I'd suppose the file is not good to be installed.

Best regards,

Why don't you cut and paste the exact message you're getting. I think we're losing something of the context.

Hi,

as asked please post the swinstall command you type.

Anyway, as the urgency, I suppose you don't have a winodws system where unzip/zip your urgent files.

Best regards,
Fabio

... please do the needful urgent...

Yes, please do so and post the information you have been asked for.

Let's assume your file is in /tmp do

# swlist -s /tmp/zip-3.0-ia64-11.31.depot

You might need to put a full path before the depot. Something like:

swinstall -s /tmp/****.depot

Or better, post more detailed info about the problem.

All the people are asking you for more information, but you only post it's urgent, it's urgent ... This isn't helpful.
