Hi Qtramana, You need to make your own code stage. In your object, in your initialize page, set a reference to: System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll And in your code stage, you need just one line: System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory([Directory to Zip], [ZipFileToCreate])   With as input [Directory to Zip] (e.g. C:\Temp) and [ZipFileToCreate] (e.g. C:\MyZipFile.zip) And unzip is similar, see the documentation on:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.zipfile(… System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory([ZipFileToUnzip], [FolderToUnzipIn]) This .Net class is available since .Net version 4.5, so it will work in BluePrism 5 & 6, but not in BluePrism 4 (Except if you trick it to use .Net version 4.5)

Hi Bastiaan, Your code really worked , but can you please provide something for .zipx file format .. have you done this before ?.. Using the above method its not uncompressing .zipx files .   Warm regards, amith

@amith1990, google says there is no libs for zipx: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1200289/i-need-a-c-sharp-library-for-zipx You can still use commandline tool for it.
