adm-zip errors when trying to unzip resource_hacker.zip

I have used changexe for a while (thanks for making it) and it has always downloaded and unzipped Resource Hacker fine, both for development and as part of CI pipelines and such.

However, earlier this week, it started giving errors. For example, on Windows:

npm ERR! code 1

I get similar errors in my Linux-based CI pipelines. I noticed that Resource Hacker recently released a new version (5.2.3) and the date roughly corresponds to when things started breaking. Strangely I can still download the resource_hacker.zip manually and unzip it using OS unzip tools/commands fine.
