      I am generating my RBZ file using a Powershell script on my Windows PC, by collecting all plugin files, doing scrambling and then zip the files and rename to RBZ

      [pre:14foiw11][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName( "System.IO.Compression.FileSystem" )
      $compressionLevel = [System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel]::Optimal
      [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory( $srcdir, $zipfilename, $compressionLevel, $True)
      Copy-ToZip $srcdir -ZipFile $zipFilename[/pre:14foiw11]
      Installation of the RBZ file works fine on my Windows PC, but on the MAC it fails.
      When I unzip the file and zip it using Winzip, the Installation on the MAC is working.

      So, I guess, some of my parameters in the Powershell zip routine may be wrong.

      Anybody having an idea what is wrong?

      Help is very much appreciated!

        it may be backslashes in your paths...

        @unknownuser said:

        ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory adds archive entries (ZipArchiveEntry) with back-slash "" in FullName which is not a path separator on Mac. Writing a custom packaging routine with a slash "/" as path separator in FullName fixes the issues: public static void ZipDirectory(string archiveFileName, string directoryPath) { using (var archive = ZipFile.Open(archiveFileName, ZipArchiveMode.Create)) { var rootDirectory = directoryPath.TrimEnd('\'); var files = Directory.GetFiles(rootDirectory, ".", SearchOption.AllDirectories); foreach (var fileName in files) { string relativePath = fileName.Substring(rootDirectory.Length + 1).Replace("\", "/"); ZipArchiveEntry entry = archive.CreateEntry(relativePath); using (var destination = entry.Open()) { using (var source = File.OpenRead(fileName)) { source.CopyTo(destination); } } } } }

        WinZip commandline tools should work for both [web 100%,100:35sef4yi]http://www.winzip.com/downcl.html[/web:35sef4yi] as they even have a mac edition...

          Hi John,
          many thanks for your quick reply.

          It was really helpful. I am now using the command line of winzip in my Powershell script, as you have proposed. The generated RBZ file is now working on my MAC also.

          Thanks a lot for your help.

          Sonja
