# Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
# (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
# read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
# When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in

# The zip object references a single file.
# Retrieve the entry object...

$entry = $zip.GetEntryByIndex(0)

# Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
$entry.FileName = "somethingElse.xml"

# Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
# the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
# FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

# The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
