On our dev machine where we have exceed (5.3 to be exact) zip library installed everything works fine. We are trying to setup a build environment which has as little as possible installed on it, because its just for compilation of source, not running the product.

When we move the xceedzip.dll with the projects and run the build script, we get a "Permission Denied" error when compiling any project ( lines containing ' = New XceedZip')

Is this normal? do we really need to install the component on the build machine for compilation?

The XceedZip.dll needs to be register on the machine (using regsvr32) and you need to license the key in the code.

However, the easiest way would be (like you already suggested) to install the package.
