Installing ZipCntrl
« on: September 02, 2025, 05:15:00 am »
I'm installing ZipCntrl 2.7.4, but the folder does not get created.

http://www.RPFSoftware.com

If I start it, it works on older zip files. If I configure it to use the current unzip.exe, it seems to work on all zip files.

Does anyone else get a folder created by install?

Did did it work on eComStation ?

I think I might have an idea what is going on.

This might have been pilot error. I ran the install program and I do get a folder named "RPF Zip Control". I was looking for "Zip Control", and I may have missed it.

I haven't checked how it can support links (zip -y)

Neil,

One word of caution, at least based on what I have seen here with ZipControl:

1) using the latest unzip (6.00) produces an incorrect output (date & time stamp) within the ZipControl window

2) using unzip (5.52) gives the correct results

See attachments showing those results for both.

BTW: on my machine I am also seeing a weird situation when attempting to open multiple ZipControl windows at the same time, the 1st one is good, the 2nd window never shows up but the ZipControl process is started in the background...I have never been able to tell what's blocking the 2nd window from actually showing up though
