On the topic of #5, IIRC, the HM has some medical training already. Enough to take care of Faye others on basic things, likely more so than Susan anyway, her wheelhouse is not medical, even if she knows biology and chemistry. Sally and Izzy likely have more direct medical training than her.
Point is, that it should not take a lot to teach him how to do a few things to help her speed up the process. So we could still allow her to do most of the exams, while still getting him involved somehow.
I completely agree. There are issues with the file and I won't be running it unless they're resolved, because I don't trust zip files that have "too many" bytes.

You're the one who quoted me to tell me that you won't play it until that is fixed
And you quoted me to tell me you don't care. What's your point?You're the one who quoted me to tell me that you won't play it until that is fixed

Ask the dev as all archive have the same issue and it isn't the duty of the uploader to fix this things. Either used it or don't. Also I would bet that it would be the same for the Patreon links too.
As has been said many times, the problem is on your end, the file has been tested by many people, and only a few of you are having issues. I still don't know what the problem is, because no one who has tested their system has gotten back to me. Run a virus scan, and a spyware scan, and see what happens then.

Have you tried using itch.io? Either downloading it from itch.io, or by getting a free account, install the desktop launcher, and installing the game through it.
I use itch.io for games with a sensible public release cycle, and for games like Harem Hotel, or The Headmaster, it doesn't make much sense.
(Edit: too many tabs open, but the solution is the same.)

Some have, some have used file downloaders to verify the archive, updated 7zip/winrar, and almost everything else I can think of so far, other than running virus and spyware scans (no one has tried that and gotten back to me yet, like I said).
The files here have been tested by myself and others many times, and only a handful of people are seeing a problem, so the odds of it being a problem with the file is incredibly slim.
If anyone has any other ideas, I am looking forward to hearing them.

Itch.io is meant to verify a few things, at a few stages. But a corrupted download will still be corrupted if there's a network issue. This could be driver based, network (inside the premises or outside), or even anti-virus causing problems. A House in the Rift (AHITR) gets this complaint a lot, but it updates monthly, so you'd expect to see it more. I saw some Harem Hotel complaints a while ago, but they were apparently fine when people used the MEGA app and the MEGA mirror.
Outside of one post on Itch, I hadn't seen this issue outside of this post, for this game (the Headmaster). But bigger games are an issue, I guess.
Given checksums, we can at least rule out network issues, but most games don't do that ...

Your archiver inlcudes (or not) some info in the archive header which other person archiver does not expect to see (or does). So it warns about it but still can uncompress as the data is not corrupted and algoritm is known.
Given abundance of software and versions, the possible compressor\uncompressor combinations are as endless as warnings about potential header error. So far it seems 7zip based software is especially picky about the header args.
e.g.
ant-zip compessing + 7-zip extracting = success with warning header error
ant-zip compessing + win-zip extracting = success without warning

Yes, they are archive header errors (7Zip) and it was talked about before. At least the files I've downloaded have them all (different source).
Hyralt
They still work and the only one that can change that is the dev of the game - other than have someone download, repack and reupload it.
If anyone want to read more about, that read a few pages back. Also, as always, if you use the links here or not, is 100% up to you and if you don't trust the links - for whatever reason - then don't use them.
It is happening to a bunch of games, and as I said, I, and others, have all checked these games, and not had any issues. Also, they have tested from several hosts.
The downloader will check the file, and compare it to the original, that means that it has been verified that it downloaded correctly.
The only thing that makes sense, unless I am getting bad info (people are lying to me), is that something is changing it on the pc itself, after it's been downloaded. So, I don't have a lot of other ideas. If someone finds a fix for it though, please let me know, so I can test it and let others know.

I think the issue here is that
1) out of an abundance of caution, 7-zip warns if it sees a header that it must ignore because it doesn't know what it means, and
2) the game is compressed with a different program that adds a header that 7-zip doesn't know about.
The odds are that this is some completely unnecessary header containing information such as, "Compressed with version X of the Python ZIP module, using the following settings: ..." or "This archive was compressed on a Windows system". Probably a late addition to the ZIP standard not yet implemented by the version of 7-zip in question. Of course it could also be something completely absurd such as: "Does this really work? Can I really just add anything as a non-standard header? NOTE: Don't forget to remove this test code before shipping the final version of SuperZip2000!"
In other words, the warning is similar to when a hypothetical (we are not quite there yet) AI car mechanic robot asked to repair your car says:
"Before starting to service your car, there is a sticker on the bumper that I do not recognize. I cannot determine whether it contains information relevant to my work. By telling me to proceed you acknowledge that I am not to blame in the event of damage due to my ignorance of the meaning of the bumper sticker."
In the real world, everybody would laugh about this and nobody would obsess over it and try to remove the bumper sticker to get rid of the warning. Given the existence of malware I can understand why people who are not computer experts are more cautious in this case, but it's really pretty much the same thing. While the developer might want to consider looking for a tool that removes the extra header(s) without breaking the game for Linux users (as happens when you just unzip and rezip on Windows -- it loses the executable bits, which Windows doesn't know about), that would be the equivalent of a company removing all bumper stickers from its car because of the broken car mechanic bots.
The real solution is on the side of the players:
1) update 7-zip or use a different program for uncompressing (one that doesn't warn about unknown headers or at least knows all relatively standard ones), or
2) just ignore the silly warning.
It is extremely unlikely that the extra header has any information that is required for uncompressing the game correctly -- which is what this silly warning is for. Extra header warnings are not malware warnings, they just warn about potential compatibility issues. (The idea is: If you uncompress the game, ignoring the warning, and then it doesn't start, you can check if uncompressing with a different software helps. That's something you might not otherwise have tried, or not immediately.) It is possible that there is some malware in an extra header of a ZIP file, but given the frequency with which this happens and the fact that nobody seems to have any actual problem other than being scared by a warning, it's extremely unlikely.

Except that MOST people who extract it with 7Zip, do NOT have that problem, only a few.
