Comments on: What is the Aversion to ZIP files all about? http://www.jccommerce.com/2007/10/08/what-is-the-aversion-to-zip-files-all-about/ The Personal Ramblings of Jason Chance Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:49:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Brian Sexton http://www.jccommerce.com/2007/10/08/what-is-the-aversion-to-zip-files-all-about/#comment-391 Brian Sexton Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:12:00 +0000 http://www.jccommerce.com/2007/10/08/what-is-the-aversion-to-zip-files-all-about/#comment-391 Are some product parts optional or might there be different versions including or not including things upon which the main project is dependent (e.g., a common runtime environment that the user may already have)? One problem I have discovered with zip files is that Windows Vista—at least with my 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium—chokes on Mac-created zip files, stopping to confirm whether I want to expand files to a location that does not offer encryption and repeatedly telling me that files already exist when nothing but newly expanded files actually exists. So much for that cross-platform standard.
