Regular old WinZip can open and extract these files, but I need to do this within a Delphi 7 Ent program. I have TurboPower's Abbrevia, which works fine with standard zip files, but it fails on the Win XP Compressed files. Can someone please tell me about the best way to accomplish this, or of a third party tool that is available?
