A problem with Chilkat in Visual Basic

Hello.In my visual basic project (R4 Manager) I am using Chilkat to unzip ZIP files.I use this piece of code:
Spoiler
        Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip
        Dim success As Long
        success = zip.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
        If (success <> 1) Then
            MsgBox(zip.LastErrorText)
            Exit Sub
        End If
        success = zip.OpenZip("C:\Downloads\R4Original.zip")
        If (success <> 1) Then
            MsgBox(zip.LastErrorText)
            Exit Sub
        End If
        Dim unzipCount As Long
        unzipCount = zip.Unzip("C:/Downloads/R4Original")
        If (unzipCount < 0) Then
            MsgBox(zip.LastErrorText)
        End If
And it keeps giving me this error at the "Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip" part:
"Zip" is ambiguous in namespace "Chilkat".Anybody know (and can teach me) an alternative way to unzip files, or, can explain me how to fix this?

you can't use zip as a name because there is already something named zip
