I tried to extract a .jps archive (generated with Joomla on a linux server) using eXtract Wizard 3.5 on Windows 10 64 bit, but keep getting "invalid archive format". I tried a jpa of the same site, and that worked fine with eXtract wizard. I tried 32 bit and 64 bit versions of eXtract Wizard, a very simple password, no difference - always "invalid archive format". I extracted the jps file (the same one that I tried to extract using eXtract wizard, to make sure it didn't get corrupted) using Kickcstart just fine. Is there an issue with eXtract Wizard 3.5 and .jps files? I can't see how I could have messed it up, other than entering a wrong password (I tried it enough time that I'm pretty sure that is not the issue).

Hello,

please download and try the latest version of Akeeba eXtract: we improved JPS archives security, so old versions of Akeeba eXtract can't extract JPS archives.

Oh, I thought I was using the latest version; https://www.akeebabackup.com/products/akeeba-extract-wizard.html shows 3.50 as the latest version. However, going to https://www.akeebabackup.com/download.html, and clicking on Akeeba eXtract Wizard Download does lead to a newer version.

Yes, eXtract v. 4.0.2 works with jps.
