Compress a file with JclCompression

I am trying to save (compress) a .zip file using JclCompression with the JCL Demo. When I press the Save button on the Read and Write Tab the demo calls:

procedure TFormMain.ActionSaveExecute(Sender: TObject);
begin
  (FArchive as TJclCompressArchive).Compress;
  CloseArchive;
end;

When (FArchive as TJclCompressArchive).Compress; is executed it produces an exception: "At least one compression volumes could not be replaced after an archive out-of-place update." Also sometimes when I press the save button, the "application is not responding" appears in the form's caption, so I have to shutdown the demo.

Is this code correct or do I have to change it to sucessfully compress and save the zip file? Are there any other demos for JclCompression so I can learn how to use these classes?

Aside from this problem the demo seems to be working correctly. I can open a zip file, create a new zip file, add files, add files from a directory, extract selected files, extract all, and get zip file properties. Saving seems to be a problem.

I am using Delphi 2010 on Windows 7.

I saw this error message when files which I wanted to archive were opened for writing, so you need to close them or copy them to temp folder in advance. Also If you using function Create7zArchive() as i do you need 7z.dll placed in your bin output folder. It's sad, but it seems JCL doesn't use Zlib.pas which is already integrated in Delphi.

JCL 2.7.0.5676 (Stable)

Same issue as jedi-jcl-compression-library-wont-open-spanned-archive-files. JEDI JCL Compression library wont open spanned archive files

The JCL-JVCL version you use is buggy.
I would recommand to upgrade your JCL installation to latest daily build
