If you unarchived an App with Hazel and want to open this App in a Stack (grid), it shows the contentfolder of the App, and don't start it.

I just tried it and I'm not seeing it. Maybe if you provide more details like what kind of archive. Also, does it do the same thing if you unarchive it manually. If it does, then the problem is with the archive/app.

You can also send in the archive to support so I can check it out here.

Zip's, nothing special.. Example: http://www.viscosityvpn.com/download/be ... .0.6b7.zip
I unarchived these with Betterzip too, and there weren't such problems..

I can open these Apps in the Finder and fan stacks, but not in grid stacks

Still not seeing it with the zip you provided. Could you tell me what version of Hazel and of OS X are you using? Also, what program are you using to download it?

Try downloading with Safari and see if it's any different. Also, if you are comfortable with the commandline, try unzipping with the 'unzip' program and see if the results are any different.

Lastly, you can try re-compressing whatever you uncompressed and send it in to support. I can try and dissect it from there.
