ZipDll can't extract my zip files!
I have a build process where by an ANT build file copies a zip file and updates it with custom configuration files. The final zip archive can be read by windows without a problem. But for some odd reason now, ZipDll will not extract it. It looks like it extracts JUST the updated pieces and then dies (I got weird ASCII strings on the console and a half completed "permission denied" string).

HAS ANYONE seen this?

Hi,

Make sure you are not using "Maximum (enhanced deflate)" mode which is not supported other then winzip 9.0

I've had problems with ZipDll not extracting Zip files using Maximum (not enhanced deflate) compression. I just use unzip.exe:

Sorry for the delay. I don't think that's it unless ANT's zip target uses maximum compression (I will look into that).

I've had to use an external unzip tool to get this right!

hi pisymbol,
Have you tried with the gzip command line tool?
