Compressing - Zipping files in vb or javascript in asp file

Does anyone know if the new Windows 2003 built-in .zip
compressor/decompressor is available to scripting? If so, can you kindly
point me in the right direction? I've searched and searched MSDN and can't
find a damn thing. TIA.

Thank you. The link is helpful. I'm surprised that MS didn't provide an
ActiveX API for the built-in zipping functionality of Windows 2003.

Hi, I have a project which requires having users upload files to be burnt to compact disk. The requirement is to zip (compress) and/or span files to compact disk size on upload.

However the cost of this software is an outrageous $3500 us + $300 per cpu on the...

Hi all,This is in reply to the 'Compressing folders in Windows using Python' query I raised y'day. I figured out that windows does not allow command line zipping so I started looking for alternatives. I found some modules in Perl which does zipping. I guess it goes by the name 'gzip'. I plan to write the zipping feature in Perl and import it into Python.

I have an SSIS package that I'm converting from DTS (SQLServer 2005), and the ActiveX Script Task (in VBScript) is deprecated, so I'm trying to convert things to Script tasks (in VB .net). I have a script that is zipping up some files, and it's using an old Winzip, which I don't have on my pc, and certainly wouldn't have on the server, once I got the code over there. So, I wanted to use the built-in zip function for XP. If, in Windows...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
