    Hi MarcusH 

    You can (also) use the System.IO.Compression namespace here to ExtractToDirectory.  If you extract your zip file from a source directory e.g rather than from bytes().  Below is some sample code that achieves the same effect.

    EDIT: just read your follow up comment. Sounds like you already know this 🙂

    	'' Imports the namespace
    	'Imports System.IO.Compression
    	
    	' Get File Path (FileShare)
    	Dim configSettings As AppServerConfigSettings = AppServerConfig.GetSettings(si)
    	Dim fullPath As String = Path.Combine(FileShareFolderHelper.GetGroupsFolderForApp(si, True, configSettings.FileShareRootFolder, si.AppToken.AppName), "Administrators")
    	
    	' The path of the zip file to decompress
    	Dim zipPath As String = String.Format("{0}\archive.zip", fullPath)
    	
    	' The path of the directory to extract the files to
    	Dim extractPath As String = String.Format("{0}\extract", fullPath)
    	If Not Directory.Exists(fullPath) Then Directory.CreateDirectory(fullPath)
    	
    	' Extracts all the files from the zip file to the directory
    	ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath)
