I had just digging through to the same point and I strongly suspect that the zip local header sizes are not correct (non-conforming zip file). With WinZip10 (I think) you can test this by looking at the detailed report for the file. File -> Properties -> Detail this tests the file and I think would catch any problems. The file is a bit large to email for me to test but, if needed, I could set up ftp access. In future versions, for security reasons, the sizes and names will have to match but at least it will tell of any such discrepancy. - Russell Peters Trueman, Christopher wrote: > I dug out a copy of BCB 5 and made a local version of DelZip179.DLL with > some more logging. > > I found that for my specialized JAR file ZIP in ZIP case, the function > open_outfile() was failing here: > > if ( pG->redirect_data ) > { > Notify(PF, IVERBOSE, "redirect_size (%u); lrec.ucsize (%u)", > pG->redirect_size, pG->lrec.ucsize); > > return ( pG->redirect_size !=3D pG->lrec.ucsize ); > } =20 > > pG->redirect_size never matched pG->lrec.ucsize.
