Matlab fails to unzip large files

When i try to unzip a 5GB zip file I get the the following error message:

******************************* ******************************* Invalid zip file "C:\Folder\Coordinates.zip".

Error in simulationprocessingroutinesZIPABSOLUTES (line 51) unzip('Coordinates')

******************************* *******************************

This error does not appear when using the same script on zip files of smaller size (I tested some which were less than 100MB and it works just fine). The zip file is not corrupted in any way and unzips normally when trying with WinZip, 7Zip, WinRar.

Answer 2

The issue is due to compression with the deflate64 vs deflate method. It appears that if a file is larger than 2 GB, windows uses the deflate64 compression method.
