In the beginning I use the CreatePack(). The archive isn't created. Then I change the function CreatePack() to CreateFile(). Parameters remain unchanged. The file is created.

Does anybody else has the same issue ? I can't reproduce it here. Do you have a clean PB installation ?

Works fine here on a clean virtual box Win8 PB 5.11 installation. Could it be an issue with Unicode/Cyrillic file names/OS system language?

Yes

No. If you change the file name into English or remove from path Cyrillic characters (for example, "C:\pak.zip"), it is still the archive isn't created.

Works fine here.
PB5.11 32 bit on Win 8 64 bit

I get the problem if "Photo.JPG" is not existing. Otherwise it is working.
AddPackFile() returns false in this case.

Well watch the video, here you can see that I have does not work.

P.S. Windows 8 x32, CPU Pentium 1.87 Ghz x64

Can you check this to be sure than photo.jpg is added ?

Code: Select all

UseZipPacker()
CreatePack(0, "lol.zip")

; add your files
If AddPackFile(0, "Photo.JPG", "Image1.jpg")
 debug "ok"
endif
ClosePack(0)

Fred, the archive isn't created. But function CreatePack() returns a non-zero.

CreatePack() can return non-zero, but if nothing is added it won't be created.

Perhaps there's a confusion to what location the files are created at when no path is specified. For me its %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\PureBasic 5.11\

%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\PureBasic 5.11\lol.zip
