[chef] RE: Re: Windows system standard program for unzip-ing archives?

["Deprez, Tom" < >]

We've also used the rubyzip gem, then used windows_zipfile. No extra code 
writing required and it didn't install 7zip either (using windows 1.30.0).

In the recipe, we had:

                chef_gem "rubyzip" do
                    action :install
                end

                require 'zip'

then use the windows_zipfile resource as normal.

Thanks
Tom

I went looking for a Ruby gem based solution, but the only thing I found was 
"unzipMe", which is most definitely *NOT* cross-platform.  But I hadn't found 
anything else obvious.

I don't mind writing some code, so this sounds like a potential solution that 
I definitely need to take a deeper look into.  Thanks!
