Basically i tried to gzip a text file and found that it crashed!! Yureka! So this told me that the gzip.exe file itself was corrupt or not compatible with windows.

So I went to: http://www.gzip.org/gzip124xN.zip
Got the new gzip.exe and replaced this one with the one installed in my ansys folder at C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v170\fluent\ntbin\win64 and overwrote the gzip.exe.

Now everything works!!!

Thank you Drdalyo, this worked for me:

I have problem "loading" .gz files on Windows 8 and 10, also saving them in .gz format. I replaced both gzip.exe and gunzip.exe files with the new "gzip.exe you provided" and rename one of them back to gunzip.exe [in C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v170\fluent\ntbin\win64]

This was a perfect solution!Thanks!

Hi Drdalyo,

Did you mean overwrite the gzip.exe in the Ansys folder with the gzip.exe you downloaded from http://www.gzip.org/gzip124xN.zip?
Sorry, I got the opposite impression from your explanation and got confused.

The requested URL /gzip124xN.zip was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "

Please help me in the direction.

Just go to gzip.org which will link you to the gnuzip page

[samarth GS]

Should the entire .zip folder has to be or just the .exe files?
If so cant find any .exe files.


Please help

[samarth GS]

Could anyone post a link for gzip.exe file, All the other folders are in .zip folder. Can't find .exe file.

Thank you

[vinerm]

Why do you need gzip? It is automatically installed with Fluent and is available at same location as fluent.exe in Windows. Linux has it preinstalled.

[samarth GS]

The preinstalled version is crashing. I need new gzip.exe and gunzip.exe.

[vinerm]

What do you mean by crashing? You cannot use these files by standard double clicking approach Windows follows. These can only be used via command or by Ansys tools that are linked to it. You can re-install Ansys to get it back.
