Error 0x80004005 stands for “Access Denied”. In most cases this is the result of a password protected ZIP file. Windows 8 can’t handle password protected ZIP files, neither does it prompt you that the ZIP is password protected.

To workaround, download a good ZIP file manager, like 7-ZIP. 7-ZIP will always prompt you to enter the password if needed.
