Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Corrupted c-areas 1.71 zip archive

Hi everyone,

I've developed a plugin on Linux which works just fine. Now I wanted to
create a Windows installer which includes the new plugin. Unfortunately
when executing

nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup

I always get the following error:

[/cygdrive/c/wireshark-win32-libs-1.8/c-ares-1.7.1-win32ws.zip]
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.

The file seems to be corrupted as other programs (like 7zip and the Windows
zip application) fail to extract it as well. I'm using Win7 64, Visual
Studio 2010 Pro and the most recent cygwin version.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Tobi
