As you are using 7zip, make sure that you actualy output a ZIP file and 
not a .7Z file.

I use IZArc, and it will correctly uncompress a valid archive even if it 
don't have the right extention. It's quite possible that other utilities 
may not be able to cope with a *.7Z file ranamed as *.ZIP. I think of 
winzip, PKZip and the integrated windows zip support.
