I'm not sure which you need to do, but my code shows how to do it on the individual entry.</p>\r\n<p>By default, Zip entries created by DotNetZip will include extra data, for the timestamp on the file. This data will appear in the zip file immediately after the filename, and immediately before the file content. Normally this is tolerated by zip tools that read the files.&nbsp; In some cases it is not.&nbsp; To turn off the timestamp, set <a href=\"http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/DotNetZipHelp/html/c049346b-8560-ab16-66e5-cefdb0ac5c31.htm\">EmitTimesInWindowsFormatWhenSaving</a> to false, on the ZipEntry.&nbsp; This would be (e.EmitTimesInWindowsFormatWhenSaving = false;)</p>\r\n<p>That will eliminate the extra data between the filename and the file content.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
