Stop a .Zip file from being Corrupted when I build a Deployment Project MSI in VS 2010

I am building an MSI \ Setup file and want to include a .ZIP to be extracted into the target installation folder.
The file I'm adding has been marked as vsdpaLoose but when I run the produced MSI the file is there but has been corrupted in the process at some stage.

The reason I'm including a .ZIP file is that I have an unknown directory and file content structure and I eventually want to autobuild the msi. This seemed like the best solution to make sure that the MSI would have consistent contents. I know how to override the System.Configuration.Install.Installer methods to do Post Install Steps but I'm just having this issue with a corrupt zip file.

I'm not using any other tools, only Visual Studio 2010 and a deployment project. I don't want to introduce any 3rd party solutions at this stage.

Normally, nothing is corrupted, so, there is nothing to stop. If you screwed up something that badly that even some ZIP file became corrupted, how can we know how you screwed it up? we don't have any information on that.
