[ { "Id": "183212", "ThreadId": "54358", "Html": "getting an error on unzipping a file created by winzip 11.0 with the default zip method of "Optimize for maximum compressions (use best method for each file type)" , works fine if I choose "Legacy compression(Zip 2.0 compatible)" however .... and well, while I could ask the user which compression button to check, I'll get a lot of flack ( people moan about the simplest things ) .... btw sharpziplib unzips the same file with no problem, but thats much more difficult to do what I want to ... which as an addendum if I get this issue solved... the user will zip a file on their pc(using winzip which is installed on all machines) then will upload the zip file to a location of my choosing wher I need to extract the contents(which consists of an html document I will have to rename btw, and a subfolder of files that are referenced by the html file relatively) and change the directory structure to what I need it to be at the new location ...any help?
\r\nbtww, I'm doing this with a web interface which is why ,afaik, they have to use winzip to zip the html file and the subfolder..then  I use the file upload control to move the zip file and unzip it at the destination
\r\n
\r\nedit: finally figured out how to look in the zipfile and I believe this smay help?
\r\n"compression method (98): ppmd encoding"
\r\nI deleted all files in the zip except the first one, this is the only compression method mentioned(previously I saw method (09) and (00)
\r\nedit 2: also fails on method (0x09) ... am I doing something wrong?
\r\nedit3: used th legacy compression option, then compression method (0x08) is used and unzips fine....

Miky,
\r\nDotNetZip supports the DEFLATE compression algorithm.  DotNetZip does not support PPMd (0x98) or DEFLATE64 (0x09).
\r\nSorry!
