FileSelectPopupEx and Windows 7 zip archives

Windows Explorer in Windows 7 automatically looks into .zip archives. When I use FileSelectPopupEx, and tell it to start in the archive, it correctly lists all the files in the archive. When I try to select one of them, it returns with return code 2 ("New File Selected"), and there is no returned value in the pathName parameter.

 

Has anyone else encountered this behaviour? I need to look in a lot of zipped archives, and I thought this would save me some time. Or are there any utility libraries for handling zip archives and extracting files from them?

I have used variations of 7zip for programmatic zip file manipulations.  read about 7za.exe in this link
