Archive: /home/poet/Downloads/FlvPlayerSetup.exe
[/home/poet/Downloads/FlvPlayerSetup.exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/poet/Downloads/FlvPlayerSetup.exe or
          /home/poet/Downloads/FlvPlayerSetup.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/poet/Downloads/FlvPlayerSetup.exe.ZIP, period.

Why are you using that, the media players in Linux can play FLV already. Is this what you want to achieve?
