Try re zipping the files that you previously zipped straight from windows. The windows zip routines aren't 100% compatible. I've had problems before where zipping a website for deployment with windows on my end and unzipping at the server with winzip didn't work. Hence the move to 7z. You can roll your own zip compression in c# with the compression namespace there is no need to depend on the iis version of compression.

It seems to be dependent on the IIS version, having the compression module installed and the client side being "compression-compatible browsers". I don't know how all this affects a WCF service and SL client. I'd have to do lots more research to see if the burden of doing compression could safely and completely moved to the environment. Id' be interested to hear anyone's experience with this -- Greg
