2. Re-register jscript.dll and vbscript.dll

If using another program did not solve the problem, try this solution.

1. Open a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following commands:
   regsvr32 jscript.dll
2. regsvr32 vbscript.dll

3. Disable the real-time protection of your antivirus.

A third-party antivirus may be the possible cause of this particular error. It happens that some anti-virus programs block the extraction of zip-files for security purposes.
