Hi,

as the theme says. Is it possible to specify a folder as an artifact or report?  
What I do: I copy a folder into the workspace and then this workspace back into the CI Server.  
What I want: What I want is to be able to download this folder from the web interface.  
For example, I can download for an artifact.  
Is this possible? How?

ps.: I tryed to zip the folder/directory as Workspace Rule but this didnt work at all.

`temp.zip < temp**`

With error:

> Details: Exception: FileNotFoundException
> 
> Message: Die Datei oder Assembly "ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=1.1.0.145, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b03e6acf1164f73" oder eine Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden

But the folder is there and before the error the CI tells me:

> Adding 24 files to archive ‘C:\CI\_AWS\Ws\9293\temp.zip’  
> Creating new archive.

regards  
Kai

Hi Kai,

Thank you for reporting this. The error is occurring because an assembly file is missing from the agent installer. We’ll get this added to the installer for the next version.

Meanwhile, you can get this working by copying the file `ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll` from the server install directory (e.g. `C:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI\Server`) to the agent install directory (e.g. `C:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI Agent`), then restarting the Continua CI Agent Service.
