I got my server all up and running, and now I'm having a problem installing mods. I can't edit the minecraft server jar without getting an error. I tried WinRAR and 7zip. 7zip says"Not implemented." and WinRAR says "Corrupt Archive" :/ I've looked all over the web and can't seem to find any solution, however this seems to be a fairly common problem. Here's a video for further detail -
Help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.
-Edit: This is right after I booted my computer, so no Minecraft processes were running.
So I installed the Minecraft_Server.exe on a different computer and I still get the same error. Is this a problem with the program itself? Am I downloading it wrong? The server itself works great, I just cant edit the jar.

Be sure to open Task Manager & close any java.exe processes.
His archive was corrupt, probably downloaded it when Minecraft.net was going up & down and missed a portion of files in the launcher.
Try deleting the META-INF folder in the .jar
Wherever you downloaded it :blink.gif:
download from here: http://www.minecraft.net/download and save it in a new folder on your desktop
