Hi Michele, That happens because the initial purpose of the Package service is to access OOo packages formats, and META-INF/manifest.xml is part of this format. If a pure zip-file access is requested then either the special UCP should be used or the Package service must be initialized in a special way. Since your code already uses the Package service the second way seems to be the best one: - please just add to the sequence of "Any" that is provided on Package service initialization an additional entry representing object of type "::com::sun::star::beans::NamedValue"; the "Name" member must be initialized with the string "PackageFormat" and the "Value" must contain "Any" representing boolean value "false".
Hope that helps. Regards, Mikhail.
