RUNDLL32.EXE : Anybody have documentations ?

[andre_luis]

Hi All,

By typing rundll32.exe zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall <filename> at DOS prompt ( for example ) it is possible browse content of ZIP files, but there is no good documentations, even at MSDN website. ( In the case, I need to de-compress ZIP files )

Does anybody have more details ?
Thanks in advance !

it is not rundll32.exe problem.

if you want to decompress zip file using 'zipfldr.dll' ,
you must have the functions inside it and parameters of it.

use the format:
RUNDLL32.EXE <dllname>,<entrypoint> <optional arguments>

use the format:
RUNDLL32.EXE <dllname>,<entrypoint> <optional arguments>

Hi srizbf !

That´s not the case ?
rundll32.exe zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall <filename.zip>

As far as I understand zipfldr.dll is just a shell extension, that provides additional functionality for the handling of zip files in the explorer shell. Most likely, the RouteTheCall entrypoint doesn't accept other parameter than a filename. It seems to be only intended for interactive use. There may be ways, to cause the explorer shell to unzip a file from the command line, but I don't know how. Windows XP has lz32.dll for programmed zip/unzip. Windows 7 has been supplemented with a zip.exe, that can be also executed from the command line.

Hi guys,

Found a possibility to perform zip/unzip: LZ32.DLL


I Will search more and post here some news.

The statements in the link are somewhat behind the times, I think. You'll actually find code examples for lz32 function usage at MSDN.
