[RESOLVED] How to unzip and zip files, without importing a dll or custom software?

[Frekvens1]

Hello!

I've been working with creating a simple zip addon for my softwares the past months, but not getting anywhere to a useful level. I've been trying to add dlls in the past, but they only worked at my computer. (Yes, I copied the dll with the .exe in the same folder at targeted computer). I also noted that I had to import the project (Visual Studio) in order to make the software even work on others than my main PC. So basicly, I have a very dark vision on dlls.

What I'm looking for is for a function in VB code which can zip and unzip my files, without relying on other files other than the .exe itself.

I tried to make my own zip format, and it worked well. The only issue is it consumes way to much memory, and is not reliable enough.

Is there any easier methods I have overseen? Thanks in advance, and thanks for reading.
