Hi,

I seriously hope someone has encountered this error... I get the above
during org export to odt file. Pic attached.

Any suggestions? I tried running zip through cmd line, the GUI opens fine
but with the same error again. :(

Regards,
Dushyant

FYI, this (

not help me either.

Thanks! That helped. This is what worked for me (Win 7, 64b system):
Zip binary @ http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/zip-3.0-setup.exe
Unzip binary @
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/unzip/5.51-1/unzip-5.51-1.exe/download

Added these to Windows PATH (Computer > Advanced Settings > Environment
Variables > PATH > Edit)
Added these to emacs PATH (M-x customize-variable RET exec-path RET, then
add the installation paths there)

Finally, C-c C-e o o works peacefully.

Long path, hopefully would be worth the trouble!

Thanks Jambunathan for the help!
