  Depends on the tool you're using.
  
  
  

• SOAC

  expression: " e " + @[User::ZipFileName] + " -y" + " -ptestpassword"

  
  evaluates to: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" e "D:\Test\Dropoff\update2.zip" -y -ptestpassword

  you might want to try getting your command to run from a dos prompt. once you verify it does what you want, create the expression to duplicate it.

  I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but it kind of sounds like you want to use the Recursive Subdirectories switch "-r"

  There is a "Swtiches" "Quick Reference" in the help file that may have more guidance there.

  The spaces in the directory names can cause problems in a command line.
  
  from the help file:
  

  Wildcards or filenames with spaces must be quoted:

    "Dir\Program files\*"
    Dir\"Program files"\*

  
  
  Also need to make sure that the exe is being called from the correct path, or make sure that the exe is in your Path$.
  
  
  also, try to access the help file that came with 7-zip. There is a section titled "Command Line Syntax". This should prove to be invaluable.

  Mike,

  To do this, I used an expression for the Execute Process 'arguments' property:

  @[User::ZipFileName] + " -p " + @[User::ZipFilePassword]

  7-zip is free and has the same switch:

  http://www.7-zip.org/

  -p (set Password) switch

  Specifies password.

  Syntax

  -p{password}
  

  {password}

  Specifies password.

  Example

  7z x archive.zip -psecret
  

  extracts all files from archive.zip using password "secret".

  Mike,

  With Winzip, use the command-line parameter 'P' followed by the password.

  Frank,

  What does the outcome look like in your expression above

  If you value your time, try CozyRoc Zip Task.

   Frank, thanks but still not sure what I'm doing wrong but is there anyway I could email screenshots to you   I'm using the variables like you suggested and putting them in the argument property under expressions.  It stops at the \usr folder in my path name below and prompts for a password

   Here is my filename and path, the OSU20060824 is the file I'm trying to unzip from this folder.

  C:\Documents and Settings\mroush\Desktop\Cnet Apps File\OSU20060824.zip\usr\local\formatting\v1.0\processing\osu\OSU20060824

  don't I just add the "-p mike" password after the filename in my variable

  Does the file have to be added as an archive to 7-zip  Is this the only way that it will work   It gets all the way to the folder that needs extracted and stops.  Here is what my expression looks like:

   

  7z x "C:\Documents and Settings\mroush\Desktop\Cnet Apps File\OSU.zip\usr" p-mr1

  I've downloaded this software, how do I test this or get it to work I'm using the below as an argument in SQL 2005.

  7z x C:\Documents and Settings\mroush\Desktop\Cnet Apps File\OSU20060824.zip -pmike
