EZCompressionError

[Heiko]

Hello,

I use VCLZip Pro 3.04 in Delphi 5.
A customer of my software get the error: EZCompressionError

From EurekaLog I get the info that the error appears at the following point:
* kpUnzipp.pas at line 826 in function Do_Unzip
-> kpUnzipp.pas at line 424 in function kpInflate
-> VCLUnzip.pas at line 681 in function CCheck

In function kpInflate() has the varibale Stat the value 0?
Stat := inflate(zstream, Param);

What can be the reason?

Heiko,

Is this happening with one particular archive?

Are you saying that the value of Stat at the time of the error is 0? If so, that is strange because the error should only happen if Stat is less than 0.

Kevin,

yes you are right. The value has to be less than 0.

But the main question was:
What is the reason that the value can be less than 0? I want to give my users the possibility to solve the problem (preferences, hd-problems, etc.)

Heiko,

Somehow the file has probably been corrupted. It could be many things including hd problems.

1. Do you know what the value for Status actually is in this case?
2. Is this happening with one specific archive, or does it happen often?
3. Is it just one customer (one machine?)

Kevin,

at the meantime the one customer has solved the problem.
He had hd problems. Now he has a new hd and the software is working without problems.

For the future I know what is to do on "EZCompressionError" ;-)
Thanks

Good, I like stories with happy endings! ;D
