I had an issue with this before that was never resolved, we found a different PC that could compile the code, that PC is gone now and I need to find the answer.

I have found info on your site saying "permission denied" when compiling is a licensing problem. I have a valid license in the component licenser so either there is another issue or I have a problem with my license.

I will email you my license privately.

Thank you for your help.

Here is my code calling the xceed component.

Dim lZip As XceedZip
Set lZip = New XceedZip <----- This line blows up with permission denied
With lZip
.License XCEED_ZIP_LICENSE_KEY
.ZipFilename = rstrZipPath
.UnzipToFolder = rstrUnzipLocation
End With

The issue seems to be related to the key not being set in your registry (regedit). You can try 2 things:

1- You could install our package that will automatically initialize those key in the registry. You can download the package at this address:

<a href="http://xceed.com/pages/TopMenu/Downloads/Updates.aspx">http://xceed.com/pages/TopMenu/Downloads/Updates.aspx</a>

2- You can manually set the key in the registry. First, open a file with a text editor. Add the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\4507C5F2-9077-40DE-A621-64EC59BF6829\ZIP]
"6.0"="ZIP60-..."

You need to change the "6.0" to your own version number (it could be 6.0) and you put your own key after in the designated place (instead of "ZIP60-..."). After closing the text editor, you name it "ZipReg.reg" and you run it.

I looked through the list of updates but I wasn't certian of the one pertaining to the update above.

So I tried to fix it through the registry. I have the key above just as you described. The key did match the one from my email but it didn't have the hypens.

I added them and tried the compile again and still get the same error.
I took the hypens out again and still got the same error.
I added the key through the interface again with the same error.

I have tried this on several compueters in our group and they all have the same issue. When the key is registered is the information logged at your servers? If so would getting a new PC on our side require us to transfer the license?

Thanks again,
Mike

I was fighting this problem also and followed all suggestions in this thread to no avail!

I then used the XceedComponentLicenser to reenter my licensing information and all of a sudden it started working! 

Just thought I'd add this note in case someone else is fighting the same problem!
