# “pingDAWS:Problems during extract” error

 * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pingdawsproblems-during-extract-error/)
 * I’m getting a pop-up error message during extraction/install of site with the
   text below. I tried continuing as it says, but when it gets to the log into admin
   step it just shows a blank page on the login screen, and the front end of the
   site too.
 * Any ideas?
 *     ```
       pingDAWS:Problems during extract. These may be non-critical so continue with install.

 * Hey [@deeve007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deeve007/),
 * This is pretty rare, but in most cases, this indicates the dup archive has become
   corrupted. The recommendation is to try and create a new package.
 * Thanks~

 * I changed settings to create a ZIP rather than dup archive and worked fine. I
   had actually tried 3 times creating a new package and got the above error each
   time.
 * Thanks.

 * Hey Dave,
 * It’s possible there might be something on the host that is causing an inconsistent
   daf generation. If the zip process works then that will be your best route.
 * Thanks~

 * Well right now it’s working using ZIP so that’s fine for me right now, I can 
   check back to this thread if any similar issue in the future when I have more
   time to investigate further. Appreciate your help.
 * And a suggestion: You may want to have a Patreon or similar link on your site,
   where those who may appreciate your plugin and/or the support you provide can
   send a little cash, where they may not need or want to buy the Pro level plugin
   version. Just a thought (though obviously not sure what WordPress rules around
   that may be)
