Issue: Unzipping file containing files/folders with a similar name

Hi,

I have a zip file created on a Linxux server that I need to extract on a Windows machine...

The zip file containing folders with the same name but they each have a different case, one if camel case and the other is just capitalised. When I extract using 7zip, I get prompted if I want to replace the file even though the folders are not named the same (case difference). Does anyone how to resolve this?

For example:

Code:

/home/myuser/SomeFolder/fileA
/home/myuser/Somefolder/fileA

I expect both files to be extracted but I am being prompted to replace the first!!! Is there a program I can install on Windows which will get me past this?
