Property Value

Zip64 extensions to the Zip specification allow archives to contain more and larger items.

When Zip64 extensions are disabled (the default as of v5.1 and v4.3), an archive created by ZipWriter can contain up to 65534 items. An item can be up to 4GB and the archive itself can be up to 4GB in size. When Zip64 extensions are enabled (the default in v5.0 and v4.2 and lower), an archive created by ZipWriter can contain up to 2^31 - 1 items. An item can be up to 2^64 - 1 bytes and the archive itself can be up to 2^64 bytes in size.

Because some zip tools do not support archives that use the Zip64 extensions, you should be careful when enabling these extensions. WinRar and the default zip support in MacOS and Windows have all been observed as having problems with the extensions.

Earlier versions of this component used Zip64 extensions in every archive. As of v4.3 (.NET 2.0/3.5) and 5.1 (.NET4), Zip64 extensions are disabled by default.
