The quotes prevent shell expansion. unzip receives the literal pattern stage/* and matches all entries under stage/ .

This error is often misleading. It doesn't necessarily mean the archive is broken, but rather that the unzip command cannot locate specific files matching the pattern you've provided, or that the shell is interpreting the wildcards incorrectly.

This reveals exactly what filenames unzip is looking for inside the ZIP's central directory.

unzip archive.zip "stage components/"

:

In GitHub Actions YAML files, the runner executes commands in a shell environment where unquoted wildcards fail. run: unzip artifact.zip stage/* Correct: run: unzip artifact.zip 'stage/*' Dockerfile Example

Move the installation files to a simple, local directory like C:\OracleInstall rather than keeping them on a network drive or deeply nested inside "My Documents". Solved: Missing file: stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre
