It turns out that my client had an old version of the unzdll.dll and zipdll.dll 
files. I think he installed some older software that replaced the newer dlls. 
Replacing them with the dlls from version 1.60L fixed the problem. 

I hope this helps.

  I'm having a similar problem as Ivano Luberti with files not being unzipped 
on SOME Windows 2000 PCs. On my Win 2000 Pro office PC the app works fine and 
unzips everything it should but on a client's PC it doesn't. My client is 
logging in as an Administrator so I don't believe it's a security issue. I'm 
using the latest version (1.6L Beta). I have similar problems with earlier 
versions.

  The code in question is trying to unzip a single file that has a directory 
attached to it. I set the FSpecArgs to 'data\general.db' and the extraction 
base dir is the windows temp folder (obtained via the GetTempPath) funtion. The 
ExtrDirNames option is set to false. The only other differences between my 
desktop pc and the client is that he's on SP2 while I'm on SP1, and he's using 
a laptop while I have a normal desktop PC.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks
  Dominic
