✅ System.ArgumentException 'IBM437' is not a supported encoding name.

I wanted to compress my epub file via .Net with this tutorial https://products.aspose.com/zip/net/compress/epub/ I just copied and pasted its source code into my Rider and ran it. Then it gave me this error

` The line the error points to is

arch.Save(dir+"archived_result.zip");

arch.Save(dir+"archived_result.zip");

` But I only copied and pasted from the aspose website. I tried this SO post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25993251/ibm437-is-not-a-supported-encoding-name-from-zipfile-read-method But the IBM437 error still appears. Does anyone know any workaround here?

are you sure you did the SO post right, because that is the way you fix this problem you need to add the latest version of System.Text.Encoding.CodePages on NuGet, and then call Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance); before you call Save

Ahh ok no, I did not add the latest version of System.Text.Encoding.Codepages I will try with the latest version again Thank you so much for your response 🙂 I just found out that not calling

Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);

Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);

before I call Save was the major culprit for the error 🙂 It works perfectly now
