Not sure what you mean by definition point.

Re: Whatever packer/zip you expect to use, check this:

Config/External/Unpacker

Do you see a "tick" mark at the right-hand end of the ZIP entry. If you
don't, that's one possible reason why you're having a problem. The
unpacker(s) that you wish to use should either be on your path or in
OpenXP's root directory.

For example.. here is my config:

The only entry that has a tick (hopefully your reader will show it) is the  
line with ZIP because I do not use any of the others. I have the "unzip"  
program in the OXP's home directory.

Also, do you see error messages related to packing in LOG/ERRORS.LOG ?
