Hi Antonio, ok i finally got it working. I had to grab 2 DLLs from the MinGW Project: - libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll - libstdc++-6.dll and put them in the same directory as the lzip.exe.
Only the most recent version i found worked for me, older ones didn't. The download links are here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version5/gcc-5.3.0-3/libgcc-5.3.0-3-mingw32-dll-1.tar.xz/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version5/gcc-5.3.0-3/libstdc%2B%2B-5.3.0-3-mingw32-dll-6.tar.xz/download Maybe it would be wise to include these libraries with your lzip.exe or have at least a short readme.txt with these links included. I had to do a bit of search to find these.
