override file extention in user's machine while calling DLL in VB6 program

I have a vb6 program that uses dll that zip and extract ZIP file in the user's machine.

Sometimes the user gets run time error 429 - activex can't create object,

probably because zip file extension is related to another program in the user's machine that create

the same kind of file (.ZIP) and block my dll to run correctly.

Is anyone has a solution to this kind of problem?
