Archive: Special Characters not supported in file names within zip files

[ddarwent]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

When there are special characters in the file name e.g. [char]0x201A these get convert to , ([char]0x00E9) so the filename Tést filenamé.htm in the zip will be called T‚st filenam,.htm when extracted.

Verbose logs showing the problem

Suggested solution to the issue

Support of encoding in the DSC resource.

$enc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding(29001) #29001, x-Europa, Europa
[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory("$Path\Test.zip", "$root$sitePath", $enc)

The DSC configuration that is used to reproduce the issue (as detailed as possible)

Archive WebsiteZip {
    Destination = "$root\$sitePath\$hostid"
    Path        = "$ArtifactRoot\$PackageFile"
    DependsOn   = "[File]IISRoot"
    Checksum    = "SHA-1"
    Validate    = $true
    Ensure      = "Present"
    Force       = $true
}
