XbZLibZip and Sub-item Errors

[Stephan Borst]

Hi all,

I am running Xbase 2.0 (but it is the same on 1.92) and I am creating Zip-ffiles like:

oZip := XbZLibZip():New( "V2025_100.zip" )
if oZip:IsOpen( .t. )
oZip:AddFile( "V2025_100.txt" )
endif
oZip:Close()

The created ZIP-file can be opened with Explorer and the content look fine.
However, when validating the ZIP with:
https://www.luxa.org/archive

I get error like:
Testing archive: /archive/V2025_1000.zip
--
Path = /archive/V2025_1000.zip
Type = zip
Physical Size = 330
0% 100% T V2025_1000.txt
Sub items Errors: 1
Archives with Errors: 1
Sub items Errors: 1


Has anyone any idea what those Sub items Errors are ?
And how to get rid off them?

Is there any alternative to create ZIP-files?
I tried Xb2.NET function xbZCompressFile( "V2025_100.txt", "V2025_100.zip")
but that gives me the same problem. Maybe due to the fact that Xb2.NET internally uses
the zlib1.dll as well.

Regards,

Ich nutze u.a. dafür Chilkat. Sensationell kompakt, irre schnell und elegant einzubinden. www.chilkatsoft.com

Thanks Tom,

I had a quick look on Chilkat.
I suppose you are using ActiveX to implement this?

I am having a desktop-app which I distribute to my customers. I would rather
not use ActiveX since: "ActiveX DLLs need to be registered on any computer where they are used. ".
That will make my live very complicated (I think).

Anyone other ideas?

Regards, Stephan

Hi, Stephan.

Yes, we do use Chilkat as an ActiveX component. We simply added the component to the manifest file, so it is registered automatically. This works very smooth. Chilkat is a genius tool and has lots of fantastic features. The samples can be easily adapted from FoxPro to Xbase++.

oZip:AddFile( "V2025_100.txt" )

i use
oZip:AddDir(...)

Code: Alles auswählen

 Bsp.:
   cFileSpec := *.*
   cZipPath := "c:\DirToZip\"
   lSubDir := .T.
   oZip:AddDir( cFileSpec , cZipPath , NIL , lSubDir , NIL , .F. )

may be the problem is that you add files to root of zip without any path or subdir?
