I created a custom class and added all the properties to it listed in Chapter 5 of the DZ Programmer's Reference Manual. I then added methods to zip and unzip files based on the values of these properties. This all uses the DZ_EZ32.DLL. I basically recreated all the functionality of the OCX.

You may need to place a copy of the OCXs in the folder where you run the setup wizard from. You could also run a post-install EXE to run REGSVR32.EXE to register these controls. In VFP 6, the setup wizard does this for me on other OCX files without a post-setup executable.

>>I use DZ but not the OCX. I place a copy of the DZIP32.DLL, DUNZIP32.DLL, DZ_EZ32.DLL and DZPROG32.EXE in my folder where I run the setup wizard from. All of these files are installed into the APP folder. Are you really trying to install the OCX [ActiveX control]?

>>>Ok, I know this is a no-brainer for someone... I'm using DynaZip in my app and I need to register the ActiveX controls when the app is installed. I know this is done in the setup wizard, but... when I check the ActiveX checkbox for the DynaZip files ( a few dll's and an exe ), I get an error when I run the resulting setup.exe file.
