    Parameters

    zipFileName
    The fully-qualified path and name of the zip file.
    filesToZip
    The files to add to zipFileName. Can contain filemasks and folder names (ending with a backslash). All subfolders will also be scanned for the specified file(s) even if wildcards are not used. For example, if "C:\test.txt" is specified, all "test.txt" files found on the "C:\" drive will be added to the zip file. Folders specified with the backslash after them will include their entire contents. Cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
    Remarks

    If zipFileName does not exist, it will be created and then the files will be added.

    Note that existing files will be overwritten, the directory structure will be preserved within the zip file and files contained within sub-folders will also be added to the zip file.

    By default, Unicode and FileTimes extra headers are stored in the zip file when new items are added to the zip file. The extra headers of items that already exist in the zip file will not be modified.

    All zip files will automatically be created in the Zip64 zip file format if the limitations of the regular Zip format are reached.

    Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
