Hi Russell Peters, According to the further study, I think you are right, it most likely that the problem is some characters in the path cannot be converted, i.e. some traiditional chinese cannot be converted into simplified Chinese....... What u can think I can solve the prolbem? How great the ZipMaster supports unicode...

A reasonably easy test is to call FindFirst and check the Windows error (probably bad filespec - I cannot recall the exact error codes at the moment). - Russell Peters > -----Original Message----- > From: delphizip-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:delphizip- > bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edwin > Sent: Wednesday, 11 July 2007 7:47 PM > To: delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [delphizip] Re: error when reading a zip file in another PC >=20 > Thanks for your info James. > I use Tntsystem.WideStringToStringEx(str, DefaultSystemCodePage) to do > the conversion, it internally calls WideCharToMultiByte.
