I am not sure what your problem is with the OnPasswordError event because,
in theory, it gives you the opportunity to supply a password, skip
extraction of the file or abort the process without the 'user' needing to
know anything.
I do see part of your problem - cannot do unattended encrypt without
password - I now allow that if OnPasswordError event is used.
Unfortunately testing revealed a slight dll problem - trace reveals the used
password so I must make a few more changes.
It is now about 01:00 GMT and the updates should be available in a few hours
(anyone's time).

Well, there must be an easier way...
Now that I have encrypted zips, it is easy to apply them via the password
property. My problem is the lack of control when the password is not
correct. I can obviously write code in the OnPasswordError and show my
message, but I get all sorts of cascading messages for ZipMaster. I don't
really want the user to know (or do they care) that it is password
protected.
The only way I can sort out is to set Unattended to true. But obviously if
real things go wrong then, I wouldn't know so that's no good.
Seems to me there should be an OnError event. I know I can use OnMessage -
but that is triggered for more then just errors. Even so, I can't seem to
trap an error specifically for the password. It gives GE_Unknown. If I set
Unattended to true, it will give PW_UnatExtPWMiss - but my solution is
starting to look like a hack.
Surely there must be an eloquent solution?
