You get this error when directory and/or file permissions are not properly set. If you using the component in ASP your code runs under context of IUSR_MACHINENAME user account. That means that that account should have proper permissions set for the job you are trying to perform. In this particular case IUSR_MACHINENAME user account should have should have “Full control” right set on the directory where zip operation is taking place. After setting that permission don’t forget to restart IIS service.
