Use libzip from https://libzip.org/. For the how, read the documentation on the site. — john, Sep 28 '20 at 07:08

I think the easiest way is to create a child process with 'WinRAR' or '7z' to unzip 'Honeygain.zip' to %appdata%. Or, You can try libzip(https://libzip.org/). It is free, portable and easy to use.
