When you have received an answer to your question, please mark it as Resolved using the Thread Tools menu.
are WinZip and WinRar distributable? you have to pay for both - so you probably can't distribute them and you'd have to rely on them being on the users computer - which they might not be.
7zip is free so that might be an option - or just build it into your app ;)
