 * Getting the same error reported 11 months ago as resolved in latest (0.2) release
   on WP 4.3.1 multisite.
 * > Windows Explorer throws a “The Compressed (zippe) Folder… is invalid” error.
 * GNU unzip on Linux (RHEL 6) reports:
 * > Archive: testsite201603170732.zip
   >  End-of-central-directory signature not found.
   > Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part
   > archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will 
   > be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory
   > in one of testsite201603170732.zip or testsite201603170732.zip.zip, and cannot
   > find testsite201603170732.zip.ZIP, period.
 * Running zip -FF on Linux against it will “fix” the problem, but unarchiving after
   the fix will result in subfolders being created in the root of the directory 
   where the zip file is located, rather than a subfolder.
 * I *can* open this using free 7-zip for Windows utility. The root “folder” does
   not have a name/label.
 * Hope this helps in diagnosing the problem, because I really like this plugin.
