Turns out, native Windows XP zip file support doesn't work either. Where I am, I cannot install or use any "unauthorized" software. I'm sure there are no 3rd party zip programs that are authorized. Next thing I'll try is writing java code to zip, unzip files.

I am using WinZip 8.0 (really old version). I am looking into just using XP native zip support. Has anyone tried that? Does it work?

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Using a broken zip utility from the look of it. I've just tried using unzip v5.52 / zip v2.31 on linux. Steps were: * mkdir expanded * cd expanded * unzip ../Original.xlsx * zip -r ../Repacked.xlsx . * scp ../Repacked.xlsx to a nearby windows box * open Repacked.xlsx in excel 2007 without issue I'd try using a zip utility that does what you ask it to, without any magic or wizardry - I suspect your gui one is doing something unhelpful and not telling you.
