UNZIP: How to debug? What is an unspeciffied error?
 

9/18/2006 12:04:49 PM: Building project step 'Unzip Sample data'...
C:\2008\DATA\ImsSampleData.ZIP -> C:\2008\DATA\Sample\
Unspecified error
9/18/2006 12:04:49 PM: Step 'Unzip Sample data' failed
9/18/2006 12:04:49 PM: Build ended.


What is an "unspecified error" ?

Not sure. Please ZIP and post or send:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) A reproducible test case (.bld + .zip file that reproduces the problem)

Thanks.

Thank you

I can't reproduce that behavior w/ VBP v6.2 on Win XP or Windows 2000 SP4. The step 'Unzip Sample Data' logs

C:\2008\DATA\ImsSampleData.ZIP -> C:\2008\DATA\Sample\

What timestamp and version is %WINSYSDIR%\dunzips32.dll on your system?

WinZip 9.0 SR 1 (6224)

No such DLL anywhere on the system.

I suppose you are going to tell me this is an old version, and I need to get the latest, with the command line add-on ?

Try reinstalling VBP. VBP does not use WinZip for Zip/Unzip functionality, but rather components from DynaZip which are copied to the Windows System32 folder during installation.

Okay that explains that mystery.

Our application also uses the DynaZip DLL, and some time ago we removed all our stuff the from windows system folder (tired of fighting with MicroSoft and other vendors for versions and files).
