Windows XP explorer doesnt show my files, whats wrong?
To allow the windows built in Zip handling to show details in a Zip file the entries must use relative paths. A relative path should start with a name like example.txt or subdir/a.dat. The other cause of problems is Zip64 extensions which allow a very large number of files and very large files to be compressed. However XP doesnt understand Zip64 and will complain or show incorrect file sizes. Within the library when creating entries try to ensure that the size of entries is set before they are added to the archive. This ensures the correct format is used. If you cant do this then a fallback is the UseZip64 property which can be used to turn this off. The downside is that if a large file is encountered then archive creation will fail. One reason explorer can block access which has nothing to do with the contents of files is that untrusted files can be blocked. The Attachment Manager that is included in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) can block files that are deemed unsafe. You
