Question

I’m using the following function to add files to a .zip archive which works fine, but I need to be able to include the parent directory for some of the files. Any ideas?

function Add-ZipFile
{
    param([string]$zipfilename,
    [string]$filter)

    if(-not (test-path($zipfilename)))
    {
    set-content $zipfilename ("PK" + [char]5 + [char]6 + ("$([char]0)" * 18))
    (dir $zipfilename).IsReadOnly = $false  
    }

    $shellApplication = new-object -com shell.application
    $zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($zipfilename)
    $files = get-childitem -Filter "$filter" -recurse
    foreach($file in $files) 
     { 
        $zipPackage.CopyHere($file.FullName)
        Start-sleep -milliseconds 500
     }
}

Ended up using CSharpZipLib. Worked as I’d hoped.

Thanks everyone.
