They contain an additional manifest and if the \"zip\" doesn't contain this, the ZipPackage class won't open it. To me the ZipPackage class is useless this way, other than creating MS-Zip files only. <br /><br />Microsoft needs to expose the internal MS.Internal.IO.Zip class(es) for people to create standard zip files so this library (or SharpZipLib) is the way to go.<br />",
