It is to note however, that if you only want to add the zip command from GoW, still the whole GoW system has to be downloaded and installed. To create an archive with no compression, use the NoCompression value.The zip command can be install from GoW (Gnu On Windows). Optimal is the default setting if the -CompressionLevel parameter is not set it uses the best compression available, but it might take longer than using Fastest. Optionally, you can use the -CompressionLevel parameter with one of three values: Optimal, NoCompression or Fastest. The command below adds all the files in the Invoices folder to my existing Invoices.zip archive: Compress-Archive -Path C:\Invoices\* -Update -DestinationPath C:\Archives\Invoices To add files to an archive, use the -Update parameter. Without the -Force parameter, you cannot overwrite existing archives and PowerShell will prompt you to add files to the archive instead. Note that I added the -Force parameter to overwrite the archive that I created using the first command. This command creates an archive with just the two files explicitly listed in the – LiteralPath parameter: Compress-Archive -LiteralPath C:\ Invoices\File1.txt, C:\Invoices\File2.txt -DestinationPath C:\Archives\Invoices -Force The command below will zip the Invoices folder in the root C directory and create an archive called Invoices.zip in the Archives folder: Compress-Archive -Path C:\Invoices -DestinationPath C:\Archives\InvoicesĪlternatively, we could zip the files in the Invoices folder individually using -LiteralPath instead of – Path. All you need to do is use the -Path parameter to specify the folder you want to compress and the – DestinationPath parameter to specify the name of the archive you want to create. Let’s start by using PowerShell to compress files in a new zip archive.
If you don’t already have PowerShell 5.0 or later installed on your systems, you can download the latest version of the Windows Management Framework from Microsoft’s website.
