Error=9 (Zipfile not found)
Yesterday I sucessfully created a layer of Adobe CS4. I tested on a virtual machine to make sure that everything worked (and it did).
After I tested the layer I wanted to load it into Workspace Streaming. I opened the Altiris Streaming Composer and after a few minutes of importing I received the following message:
Failed to extract VSA File C:\Document and Settings\Adminsitrator\Desktop\Classroom-AdobeCS4.vsa. Error=9 (Zipfile not found)
I have never encountered this problem and I am not sure how to work around it.
The layer is 3.29 gig. I used SVS 2.1 to create the layer. I am using Altiris Streaming Composer Version 5.2.2.604.
I am going to attempt to recreate the layer to see if that helps to solve the problem.
Any help with this issue would be appreaciated.

Problem Solved
Well, I finally figured out what the problem is.
The Streaming Composer has to dissassemble the exported layer (the VSA), convert it into a format that will allow it to be streamed, and then create a ZIP (so it can easily be uploaded to the streaming server). There is a program called "unzip.exe" in the C:\Program Files\Altiris\Streaming Composer folder. This program in freeware and open source. The build of the program included with the Streaming Composer has a 2 gig limit. So, if your exported layer (or VSA) is more than 2 gig the Streaming Composer cannot unpack the layer and convert it into something that will stream.
After some poking around I found that there has been an update to the unzipping software. Here is where you can find it:
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/
Click on the download called: unz600xn.exe. You will need to extract this file. Once you have, you will find a file called "unzip.exe". Copy that to C:\Program Files\Altiris\Streaming Composer. You will over right the old file and you should be good to go.
The limit on this version is 4 gig. To go beyond that you will have to get a 64 bit unzipping program (I think this means that you have to be running a 64 bit OS).
Keep in mind that usually when you finish you get a ZIP that has a streamable layer inside. This is not the case with files this large. It will not ZIP the file because the ZIP.exe doesn't support such large files.
I believe this 2 gig limit is
I believe this 2 gig limit is gone with Streaming 6.1 though you may need to be using SWV 6.1 layers.
