ZIP Files Created with Visual Build Fail

I get an error from WinZIP, Windows XP’s ZIP extraction tool and WinRAR when trying to extract files from a ZIP created visual build pro. I can view the file list, but when I extract them I get the error message: “Unknown Method in <file name>“.

However, I use a tool named Total Commander that is able to extract the files so I know it’s a “valid” ZIP, but apparently is using some compression method that most compression tool don’t recognize. Unfortunately, my colleagues use WinZIP or Windows XP’s ZIP tools and they are unable to open the zips.

Any suggestions?
