Gentlemen,
My apologises for detracting the focus of conservation, however this minor problem is beginning to exasperate!!
When I convert my .bte file to the zip file it carries this command out no problem, however NO zip icon appears in the game folder, not a major problem I admit however I have been getting a little confused as normally the zip file sits on top of its parent .bte file.
Any ideas chaps?

There are a few ways to zip a file. One is to create the archive FIRST and then add the file. The other is to right click on the file and then pick the Send To and pick Winzip or for some versions of Winzip the file name of the .bte automatically is chosen as the title of the .zip file (thus SW_BP_NIR.bte becomes SW_BP_NIR.zip).

And you can also try creating an archive with another file and then Adding the .bte file to it and then remove the other file just as a test.

If this doesnt work then I would uninstall and reinstall Winzip.

Stuart,

To avoid mixing up files, I created two directories (folders) on my PC: A "Download" directory and an "Upload" directory. I then place all incoming zip files into the Download directory, while storing my outgoing zipfiles in my Upload directory.

When I'm ready to return a file, I simply open the "upload" directory, double click on the appropriate zip,and then execute the "Add" command[8D]!

Regards,

Paco
