I tried to run this batch file manually: @echo off start c:\adobe_site\pkzip25.exe -extract c:\adobe_site\MI20080901_031315_RES_1.zip c:\adobe_site\extracted_files -password xxxxxxxx
But that did the same thing. Password just doesn't take... Are you talking about creating a cfexecute like this: (No password in the args) <cfexecute name="C:\adobe_site\pkzip25.exe" arguments="-extract c:\adobe_site\MI20080901_031315_RES_1.zip c:\adobe_site\extracted_files" timeout="5" /> And then call a batch file somehow to supply the password? I think you're right that the console is waiting for the password. I just don't know how to give it to it!
