What does happen when you try to unpack it?
What version, what OS, what is the hash of your download (md5 or otherwise)?

The most recent version of FFS? Try using 7zip

I just extracted it fine with Windows, are you running an Antivirus that isn't Microsoft security?

Size is wrong (at least per what I have).
20,142,821 bytes.

For me: FreeFileSync_11.12_[Donation_Edition]_Windows_Portable.zip
Size: 19,671 KB, alias 20,142,821 bytes
md5: cedf4dd86e8b63a4ed1f9623c8bd2166
So, size is the same as for therube,
checksum obviously different, as these are donator specific files.

It seems your zip-file does not have the correct size (at 11,246KB).
Simply re-download from your donation page.

Thank you for trying to help me.
I downloaded for the n-th time and unpacked and try to run both as 32 bit and 64, neither works.
So frustration here is mounting.

Perhaps the packed file has an error? I work on the portable file.

Best

The only other thing I could think of is to have you upload a copy that I can try unpacking. That would expose your unique ID and name to me, if you cared. I already have donation edition, so I wouldn't be interested in 'taking' it. Otherwise, you'd have to wait for Zenju to jump in.
You can send it to xcsxxenon@gmail.com if you are interested

Most likely an issue with an incomplete download, when the file size is not 20,142,821 bytes.
Why is the download incomplete? Could be a number of reasons. For example a slow, unstable internet connection.
