C++ Static Libraries vs. ActiveX DLL Confusion

Question:

I installed the ZipActiveX.msi, but I am missing these two files... #include "CkZipEntry.h" #include "CkZip.h" Not able to run any of the demo's because of this. The only thing that is installed are these files: ChilkatZip2.dll, Zip2Exe.dll, and ChilkatUtil.dll

Answer:

The C++ header files are for the Chilkat C++ Static Libraries (for Visual C++). You downloaded the Chilkat Zip ActiveX Component, which can be used from VC++ as a COM object if you wish, but the CkZip.h and CkZipEntry.h headers are part of the static C++ libs, and not the ActiveX.
