(PowerShell) Create Password Protected Zip containing a Single File.

Create a password-protected .zip containing a single file. (This uses the older Zip 2.0 encryption scheme, which is weaker and not as secure as AES encryption, which Chilkat Zip also supports.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
