VB Zipping Application
Posted: 25 Nov 2005, 21:54
Ok so I started learning visual basic just for something to do
I managed to build a small app that is for zipping files and directories however I have not implemented the zipping functionality because I can not find any info on using the win xp compression tool for zipping the App
all the info I found was for commercial extensions and the free ones I found you need to place a dll in your windows system drive and I am not advanced enough to use an installer
Does anyone here have any info on using the microsoft compression libraries for VB
I thought about using the Shell whatever command but that would mean my app would just be a shiny gui for an existing application
So I would prefer to use a library
Any Ideas
Cheers
