The : in the zip file's name could be the problem. Or maybe it's the length of the paths.
Hmm, are you trying to add to the zip file the same dll that is being used by sszip?

Hi Andrea,
Unfortunately there is not way for me to test all the various ways that a
file name can be created. Try using a different naming convention for the
zip file.
Also keep in mind that you CANNOT add a file to a zip if the file is currently
in use by any other program.
For reference:
Path names are limited to 260 characters.
Dave,
Looks like she's trying to add the vdszip50.dll to a zip file using my dll
(SSZip.Dll).

TDK,
As far as I know you cannot create a file with a : as part of a file name. On Windows File names cannot contain the following characters \ / : * ? " < > | All other characters are allowed.

Bill,
I know that the documentation says that Path names are limited to 260 characters but it has been my experience that the limitation is only applied between the \<Path Name limited here>\ ... The full path can actually be as long as needed and the File IO functions will still work. Even the functions in the standard template library of C. You should not use a character array with a static length for file paths. You should use a pointer to the string that VDS passes your DLL and if needed get the length of that pointer to make the character array and copy the string into that character array. At least this is how I do it

Actually, now that I think of it, all my passed in arguments are passed via
a pointer then copied to a char array when necessary.
