MSDOS has PKZIP.EXE but it is an external program. ZIP.EXE is a free alternative.

Windows does not have a native command to ZIP or UNZIP files from the command line, but it can be done using VBS and other scripting languages.

See here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6108 because your question is very vague.

I suppose you are not using dos but the command prompt/cmd.exe.

Here you find my investigation over the topic :

Probably the zipjs.bat is the best option (I think this is most comprehensive attempt of using shell.application com object for zip operations that can be found).

you can zip a folder using it it like:

Code: Select all

call zipjs.bat zipDirItems -source C:\myDir\ -destination C:\MyZip.zip
