[Question] How to use legacy ZipCrypto for Windows native compatibility (Error 0x80004005)?

[timothy-jeong]

Hi,

I recently migrated from pyminizip to pyzipper to address security vulnerabilities.
However, some of my clients are reporting a 0x80004005 error when trying to extract the encrypted zip files using the default Windows File Explorer.

I understand this issue is likely caused by pyzipper defaulting to AES encryption, which Windows does not support natively.

Since some of my clients prioritize Windows compatibility over strong security, is there a specific option or constant (like ZipCrypto) I can use to downgrade the encryption method?

Thanks!
