I do not have any zipping application open while this is happening. In fact, I'm pretty sure no other application has these files open except for Oxygen (at least to my knowledge) except for the Firefox browser (and occasionally I have Windows Explorer open to the output directory). In my opinion, what is happening is definitely the result of Oxygen doing something weird on my machine. Now that I know how to deal with it, it doesn't bother/scare me. It just seems weird. rj Robert Nagle

Oxygen does not lock the output files of the transformation.

Maybe the zip application locks the files. Deleting the files will fix the problem because that is a case when the zip application does not have a lock on the files anymore. Please make sure the zip application is closed completely when you try to overwrite the output files with a new transformation in Oxygen.

Do you access the files with other applications?
