I am attempting to configure IIS Compression on IIS6, and after I update the MetaBase.xml with the compression settings I can no longer get the zip files with work.  The zip file will still download from the site, but when you try and open the file it says the zip file is invalid.  If I remove the compression settings it works fine.  Any thoughts?

Using zip As New ZipFile()

            'Note: zip files and send to client
            Response.Clear()
            Response.ClearHeaders()
            Response.BufferOutput = False
            'Dim ReadmeText As String = String.Format("M. J. Harris, Inc. Disclaimer" & Environment.NewLine & Environment.NewLine & _
            '                                         "The information in this file should not be used without the expressed " & _
            '                                         "written conscent of the document's owner.")
            Dim archiveName As String = String.Format("MJHI-Planroom-{0}.zip", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MMM-dd-HHmmss"))
            Response.ContentType = "application/zip"
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "filename=" + archiveName)

\r\n

            zip.AddFile(Server.MapPath("Disclaimer and Intellectual Property Statement.txt"), "")

\r\n

            'zip.AddEntry("Readme.txt", ReadmeText, Encoding.Default)
            ' filesToInclude is a string[] or List<String>
            zip.AddFiles(PlansToInclude, "01. Plans")
            zip.AddFiles(SpecsToInclude, "02. Specifications")
            zip.AddFiles(AddendaToInclude, "03. Addenda")
            zip.Encryption = EncryptionAlgorithm.None
            zip.Save(Response.OutputStream)
        End Using
        Response.Close()

Cheeso, thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately this did not correct the issue.

It appears that the issue was with my Response.ContentType once I implemented the compression in IIS6. Making the following change seems to have cleared things up: Response.ContentType = "application/x-gzip-compressed"
