    ; Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
    ; However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
    ; An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
    ; It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
    If ($oEntry.IsDirectory) Then
        ConsoleWrite($i & ": " & $oEntry.FileName & " (directory)" & @CRLF)
    Else
