Free zip component that supports password unzipping

[Brian Henry]

I need to automate a process that opens a zip file that is password
protected and moves the contents to another folder, is there a component to
interact like this with zip files out there? thanks

You might wish to checkout out zLib at Sourceforge.net. It's an open source
compression library. I don't know if passwords are supported.

Brian,

In addition to Richard,

They have a Net dll which is very small and sample VBNet code.
