Can anyone recommend any components that I can use to uncompress patch files that are automatically downloaded via ftp? I thought about just distributing PKUNZIP with the application, and just shell it?

When I made an auto-updater/patcher, I just decided to use the unzip dlls, they work fine and it's good enough for an updater/patcher.

I think they're on www.cdrom.com(but that's just the dlls), but I am very sure you can find at least three good dlls with delphi headers and sample code included on torry's delphi pages. Here, this is the one I used http://www.torry.net/vcl/compress/std/zunz.zip
But there are others out there, if you just want the dlls themselves, do a search for Info-zip dlls on google, although they may just be in that file I just mentioned, not sure..

Thanks I ended up using ZipMaster, it contains the zip and unzip DLL and a VCL wrapper. Very simple to use! Just need to mod my auto patch now!Originally Posted by Shadowcore

My personal favorite, though it's not free, is VCLzip.
Absolutely native, no DLLs required or anything.
