Xceed Zip for COM/ActiveX on x86/x64 Documentation
The Xceed Component Installer will copy all the necessary files into the library's installation folder (usually in \Program Files\Xceed Components\Bin\ActiveX) and register the XCEEDZIP.DLL ActiveX / COM component. The only thing left to do is to make the control available to your VB 6.0 projects. To do this, perform the following steps:
Start Visual Basic 6.0.
Create a new project or open an existing one.
Select Components… from the Project menu.
An entry named "Xceed Zip Compression Library v6.x" entry should appear in the components list.
In the Components dialog, make sure the "Xceed Zip Compression Library v6.x" entry is checked in the components list. This will make it available for use in your applications.
Click the OK button. The Xceed Zip and Xceed Compression control icons should now appear in the components toolbox.
Try reinstalling the Xceed Zip Compression Library from its setup program. Continue only if that didn't help.
Click the Browse… button.
Click on All files in the Files of type tab
Find and select the XCEEDZIP.DLL file (use the one in the Windows System folder that was copied there by the setup program) then click on the OK button.
The "Xceed Zip Compression Library v6.x" entry should now appear in the components list.
The License method must be called to license the library for runtime use. This applies to both registered users as well as users of a time-limited free trial license.
