\r\nI have the same problem even if Save() is not called. Remove that line and try the rest of the code, you should see it then.
\r\n
\r\nP.S. The original code where I am removing the same file twice was simply to show that either attempt will fail. I don't expect to be able to delete a deleted entry. :-)

Hmmm, You cannot extract if you don't call Save().
\r\nI have to think about the Remove() if you don't call save.  
\r\nLet me look.

\r\n

This code does not throw for me, using 1.6.3.8

\r\n
            Dim zip As New Ionic.Utils.Zip.ZipFile()\r\n            Dim entry1 As Ionic.Utils.Zip.ZipEntry = zip.AddFile("file1.txt")\r\n            zip.AddFile("file2.txt")\r\n            zip.AddFile("file3.txt")\r\n            ' zip.Save(ZipToCreate)\r\n            zip.RemoveEntry(entry1)\r\n
\r\n

Is that what you mean?

\r\n
\r\nI want to add several files, save (so I can get the compressed file size), then I want to delete one or more files from the zip archive (and re-save to get the new compressed size). Right now, it seems like I have to create a new ZipFile and re-add all files except those I wanted to remove.
\r\n
\r\nI have not even gotten to the extraction part, yet. As I understand, the DeleteEntry method will delete an entry from the archive but will not extract that file anywhere.
\r\n
\r\nMy point is that the DeleteEntry causes problems whether or not you first call Save (since you said the Save method was invalidating object references to entries).
\r\n
\r\nAm I misunderstanding something or is there really a bug trying to delete files you have added to an archive?

can you show me the code?
\r\nThe code I showed you - it seems to do what you described. 
\r\nIt works for me. (using v1.6.3.8)
\r\nDoes it work for you?

\r\n
            Dim zip As New Ionic.Utils.Zip.ZipFile()\r\n            Dim entry1 As Ionic.Utils.Zip.ZipEntry = zip.AddFile("file1.txt")\r\n            zip.AddFile("file2.txt")\r\n            zip.AddFile("file3.txt")\r\n            zip.Save(ZipToCreate)\r\n\r\n            ListFiles()\r\n\r\n            zip.RemoveEntry("c:\\file1.txt")\r\n            zip.Save(ZipToCreate)\r\n\r\n            ListFiles()\r\n\r\n

The above code snippet works for me.  What do you get when you compile and run this?
