(I'm going to assume that ZipDLL does not overwrite files by default.)

I don't see any info about overwriting files in the ZipDLL readme. So, other than diving into the sourcecode and changing it if necessary, I don't see a way to overwrite files. Try for example the nsis7z plugin.

thanks for the answer but nsis7z plugin only supports .7z files isn't it so?

another way i thought about is to extract the files to a temporary folder and then move to content of the folder..

solved this problem...

i extract the zip files into my temp folder and move the folder my means of the MoveFolder function (btw it has a nice function to overwrite only if the files are newer)

thanks again to MSG for your answer
