Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

Zip is definitely a supported package format in your Octopus version. The problem in this case was with the name of the file (Standard76.zip) not quite being what Octopus is expecting. Please check the “Package Metadata” section of the doc below to see what I’m talking about.

Best regards,
Dalmiro.

FYI - I’ve created a github issue to improve the error message in these situations: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/2516

thanks!
