I get exception when I try to unzip a file
When I remove the try I receive:
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Try
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell()
'
'Create directory in which you will unzip your files .
'
IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Application.StartupPath & "/Packs/SkyNet/mods")
'
'Declare the folder where the files will be extracted
'
Dim output As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace(Application.StartupPath & "/Packs/SkyNet/mods")
'
'Declare your input zip file as folder .
'
Dim input As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace(Application.StartupPath & "/Downloads/SkyNet.zip")
'
'Extract the files from the zip file using the CopyHere command .
'
output.CopyHere(input.Items, 4)
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath & "/Config/SkyNet.pack", "SkyNet Installed", False)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Could Not Extract Pack: SkyNet", "SkyNet Launcher: Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath & "/Config/SkyNet.pack", "SkyNet Not Installed", False)
End Try
I have tried setting output.CopyHere(input.Items, 4) to output.CopyHere(input.Items, 148) but returns same error.
(148 is the number of items inside the zip)
If the path is invalid for the input or output folder, it will cause this error. Check your paths before using them in the dim statement.
