How to unzip a .zip file in Godot?

Question

I've been stressing to get this to work for hours on end to no avail. This is my last resort.

Methods Tried

• using different Windows commands found on Google in OS.execute()
• using the unzip.exe file in OS.execute() (works in cmd but not in OS.execute)
• using the gdunzip.gd script (Github issue)
• using script in this forum post

Note: I know that this has been asked already, I just don't feel like it's answers my question properly.

If you don't mind using the mono version of Godot, there are DotNetZip and SharpZipLib for C# which you can use to do exactly what you need without relying on any tools being provided by the OS.

Then you can do something like the following to extract all files to local folder:

using var zip = ZipFile.Read(ZipFileName);
zip.ExtractAll(".\Unzipped\");
