archiving

I have a strange error in Windows 7 when I want to execute/open a file inside ZIP archive.

I have two files:

File1.dwg
File2.dwg

The archive is not corrupted ( I checked with 7zip utility )

enter image description here

When I double click on the any file inside ZIP (I opened ZIP with Windows Explorer), the error occured:

enter image description here

Ok. If I open zip file with 7-zip or WinRAR every file could be opened(executed) without error and the AutoCAD is opened to see the dwg content.

Why in Windows ZIP ?

What points have I to see to manage/remove this error ?

Thank you.

UPDATE

If I click Extract all from Windows ZIP, the error occured as unspecified error:
