Winzip equivalent class?

Is there any core assembly class that can compress/decompress files similar
to winzip? I found how to create custom actions. What I would like to do
is write something that decompresses winzip files.

I tried adding the files to the deployment project, but they are so large
that compiling, and trying to load the msi, both hang the machine. Want to
develop custom action that shows users which zip files (each a set of data)
are available, provide check boxes so they can select which they would like
to unzip on to their machine.

Thanks!

I'm using ASP and I need to generate a ZIP file that contains a list of files that I'm pulling from a database. I've determined WinZip's command line parameters so that I can use it, the problem is I'm unsure how to run WinZip on the server. Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run("c:\winzip.exe") Assuming this would work, how do I get the process to terminate upon

Is there anyone with experience using the Winzip command line add-in? I can't get it to create the zip file with a space in the file name. Using: RetValue = Shell("C:\winzip\wzzip.exe C:\MyFolder\My ZipFile.Zip C:\MyOtherFolder\MyFile.mdb") What is the syntax when you want a space in the zipfile file name?

No way this should be that difficult... I have a program that does a file watch on a folder. When a file is created in this folder, I simply want to zip it up using WinZip (with the command line version of WinZip). I have been unable to do so with any success. I have been using DTE.ExecuteCommand to try and get this working but the error "Command "wzzip.exe" is not valid." keeps popping up.

Hi all, I regularly use FTP to place Self Extracting Zip files on the web for remote users to update their datafiles. Works very nicely.
