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 VFP 5.0 and 6.0 projects. To do this, perform the following steps:
Start Visual FoxPro 5.0 or 6.0
Select Options... from the Tools menu.
Select the Controls tab from the Options dialog.
Select the ActiveX controls option button.
The Xceed Zip control should appear in the "selected:" listbox (still in the Controls tab of the Options dialog)
Now, to make the control available to your Visual FoxPro 5.0 projects, make sure the checkbox next to the "Xceed Zip Compression Library v6.x" entry is selected. Click on the OK button and the Xceed Zip icon should now appear in the list of controls you can insert - for example, when using the OLE Container Object on a form.
Try reinstalling the Xceed Zip Compression Library from its setup program. Continue only if that didn't help.
Select the Add... button from the Controls tab of the Options dialog.
Find and select the XCEEDZIP.DLL file (preferably the one in the Windows System folder that was placed there by the Xceed Zip setup program), then click on the OK button.
The control's entry should now appear in the list.
Special note for Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 6.0: Xceed Zip events will be triggered only if you set "Application.AutoYield = .F." Place this code in the section of your main program where you set up your environment. If you only have a single form in your application that uses Xceed Zip, place "Application.AutoYield = .F." in the forms load method, and set it back to the default in the forms destroy method.
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.
