as Freeman recommended, please try 7-Zip (it's free and open source) or other modern tools

sorry for the inconvenience - future versions will come as a self-extracting archive (.exe)

also, this is very strange:
according to this, WinRAR supported the compression method LZMA2 from version 3.90 onwards (the zip is compressed using LZMA v1)

Your archive is bad formed. LZMA is not a standard compression method for .zip container, AFAIK. Please use standard compression methods in zip, or switch to .7z container to continue using LZMA.

not quite, according to Wikipedia it's in the specification for zip since 2006

today I made a self-extracting version that should work pretty much everywhere
